USSA XC JUNIOR OLYMPICS!
NYSEF athletes Elizabeth Izzo, Joey Izzo, Sam Cowan, Charlie Bencze, Will Fieroh, Maile Sapp and coaches Margaret and Dave just returned from a great week of racing at the 2010 USSA XC Junior Olympics in Presque Isle, ME.
Blue-bird skies greeted the racers everyday, which is pretty much unheard of in the east for 8 days straight. Snow conditions were excellent, temps hovered in the upper 30s and low 40s all week and the coaches enjoyed 5 days of klister thumbs at the beginning of the week.
Some racing highlights include:
Maile putting the hammer down in the J2 girls classic sprint to qualify 13th and move up to 11th in the heats, just missing a medal by one place! an awesome result of 5th for first year J2s in the US!
Challenging courses led to some good crashes from the NYSEF skiers. Charlie decided it was better to "CHUCK" himself off course in Friday's freestyle race, forcing him to take his ski off to climb out of a gully back to get back on course.
Elizabeth proving that she can skate with the best in the country and carried the Mid-Atlantic J1 girls relay team into 4th overall and 3rd for J1 teams in the lead off scramble leg!
