Looking Ahead for State Championships

Truckee High Nordic Team 2010.

Truckee is looking forward to racing this year, especially at State Championships. It is on March 23, 2013 at Auburn Ski Club. Auburn Ski Club is about a fifteen minute drive from the high school. We train there often, so we know the trails and the course. We have two races that day- one classic and one skate. The classic race is 3.2 km, followed by a 4 km skate two hours later. As tough as it will be, we will be enjoying our selves. 

 In the past, we have done very well. Last year, for open division girls, Annika Winans placed fourth, followed by Zoe Johnson. As for varsity girls, Gabrielle Rinne placed firth, with Skyler Flora right behind her. The boys swept the podeum in the open division. Eli Yale, Brandon Flora, Aaron Deeter, and John Guerra were the top finishers, all from Truckee High. Jordan Mcelroy won in the Varsity division, with his team Alex Kopytko (seventh) and Branden Deeter (eight), and  Jake Kamenetsky (14). We will work hard this year to keep up our fantastic placing we have had in the past.

First Week of Training

Team Dry-Land Training on Wednesday 11-14-12

Welcome! I am Kyla, a member of Truckee High School's Nordic Ski Team. This is our first week of training. We are currently doing dry-land training, so we go on runs because there is not enough snow to ski. As much as we love running, we want to ski! Hopefully the snow storm this weekend will be big so we can get on the snow and start our real training!

I will continue to write on this blog as the season continues. Our first race is on December 14 in Kirkwood. It's a relay with three people on each team, and each person skis a 3km loop. I think we are all looking forward to the season to come!
