The calendars are about to turn over, and the MNC Juniors will be spread around the country for a bit. What are we up to?
USBA Youth/Junior World Trials
Taylor, Virginia, and Pat are travelling to Mt Itasca, MN to race in the Junior/Youth World Championship trials for biathlon. This series of races is right around the corner, and finishes up before the new year.
You can find a press release about these upcoming races right here on the US Biathlon website.
US National Championships
Gillian, Anders, Julia, and Elsa are travelling to Soldier Hollow, UT to compete at US Nationals. In addition to serving as qualification races for U18 Scandinavian Cup and World Junior trips, the first 3 races also count as out-of-region JNQ events, and are also just great for seeing the greater picture of skiing in all of the US!
These races take place from January 2nd through the 7th, with results and information available at this site.
Training in Vermont
Many of our Juniors are going to be in Vermont for the start of the new year, training in preparation for the rest of the season. We have a pretty significant gap between the 1st and 2nd Eastern Cup races, which is great for a flexible schedule around biathlon, US Nationals, or just putting in time with training!
Our group in Vermont will be at the legendary Bogburn classic race on the 6th, before everyone reconvenes from their various trips and championships to compete in the Silver Fox Trot in Hanover on the 13th.
Current skiers and alums reconnecting at Craftsbury over the winter holiday!
