Eastern Cup Success


Presque Isle, ME--Back from the Haywood NorAm in SilverStar and right into our first Eastern Cup of the 2010 season. After the Finland Camp, we talked as a team about our ability to put several juniors into the top seed in the East, maybe even in the nation. Confirmation came this weekend.

Nick Michaud (2nd junior, 4th overall sprint), Joey Bard (3rd junior, 6th overall sprint), John Dixon (5th junior, 12th overall, 3rd junior qualifier sprint) and Welly Ramsey (3rd junior, 8th overall 10km) all met our mark for those going to U.S. Nationals. Derek Rowe, Adam Fissette, Jesse Rochester and Vicky Bernard also posted personal best results and ended the weekend within striking distance of JO qualifying.

Ben Koons took the win on Sunday. Pavel Sotskov surprised everyone with an 8th place qualifying in the sprint.

Looking to U.S. Nationals and Canadian U23/WJ Trials with some real anticipation. We're just getting going, and already rolling at a pretty high clip.
