By on 16 March, 2014 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog
GRAND PRIX 
The Frost Mountain Grand Prix began with warm spring like weather on Saturday and finished with sunny skies but cold mid winter conditions on Sunday.  MNC skiers not only had a great time but also posted some excellent results.  Day one of the Grand Prix saw lots of MNC skiers at or near the top of the results page http://www.frostmountainnordic.org/gp14results.html.

DAY ONE: MNC skiers with first place finishes included Charles Martell, Quincy Massey-Bierman and Olivia Cuneo.  The closest race was the Boys 13 yr old with Kai Richter having his best race of the year finishing 2nd to SMS skier Adam Witkowski. Only about 10 seconds separated 2nd thru 4th.  Day two started with a classic prologue and finished with a skate pursuit race. In the girls 2003 Class MNC had a 1-2 finish as Quincy Massey-Bierman once again topped the field in both races and Camile took second.  Olivia Cuneo took first in 2001 class for both the prologue and skate races rounding out a stellar final year as a BK skier.

DAY TWO: For the boys (2002) we saw Charles Martel take first in the prologue only to get edged out by a few seconds in a great race by Will Koch in the afternoon skate pursuit.  Tim Cobb moved up from 5th in the prologue to take 3rd in the 2001 pursuit and Justin Schaaf in his first year of ski racing finished the morning in 8th and 9th in the pursuit. The boys 2000 class had the deepest field of very good skiers. In the morning classic prologue Greg Burt was 3rd, Kai Richter 7th and Conor Munns 8th.  The afternoon skate pursuit saw Greg fall one position to 4th, Kai held his place for 7th and Conor was in 11th.

MNC Athletes At Eastern High School Championships

By on 15 March, 2014 in Junior Blog

Eastern High School Championships — a three-day event each March — are taking place at Mountain Top Resort in Rutland, VT. Events include a 5km skate race (yesterday), 7.5km classic and a 1km sprint (today) and mixed relays tomorrow. Athletes compete for the state in which they attend high school and awards go to individuals as well as a team title to the state with the most points at the end of the weekend.

Results for all events are available at the BART Timing Website.

Club athletes Autumn Eastman was the top Vermont finisher in the 3rd overall, behind 2 girls that each had podium finishes last week at Junior Nationals. Cally Braun – another MNC/CVU skier – finished 26th, and Molly Larson (MNC / MMU) also skied to an excellent top-30 result in a field of approximately 100 of the best skiers from NY, VT, MA, NH and ME. It looks like 11 of the girls in the field were also members of the New England Junior National Team, which means it is a really competitive event! Amy Bruce (MNC/MMU) was the next finisher in 46th followed closely by her teammate Abby Grab (MNC/MMU). Chloe Lemmel-Hay (MNC/Essex) also skied strong to finishe 65th on the day.

On the boys’ side, Charlie Maitland (MNC/CVU) was 9th overall and one of the top finishers from Vermont. Forrest Hamilton (MNC) finished 22nd,  Ethan John (MNC/Essex) was 31st, Ethan Thibault (Colchester/MNC) was 78th in a field of 106 athletes. Parker Francis (MNC) had an excellent performance and skated to 40th place results and was only 30-seconds outside the top-20 overall!!

Congrats on a great start for Team Vermont with a strong lead in the Team Event after day 1!
