Congratulations to all on a
great weekend of racing at Eldora! In the classic mass start
race on Friday, Lars skied away from the field to take the win in the
10k OJ/J1 field. Elena also had a fantastic race with a second
place finish in the J1/OJ women's 10k. In the J2 field, Gino
perfectly timed his finishing sprint and lunge to steal the win in the
5k classic. On Saturday, the DNSC race of the weekend was the J3
girls where Amy, Lilly, and Stephanie swept the podium in that order.
The racing weekend ended with the naming of the Rocky Mtn Junior
National Team. In the beginning of March, DNSC will send 11
skiers to Truckee, CA to compete against the top juniors from around
the country in the 2009 US Junior Nationals. Wish them all the
best of luck! |

Congratulations to Alicia,
Paige, Elena, Rogan, and Lars for great races today! With temps
reaching a high of close to 0, the skiers showed outstanding effort
and tolerance for the conditions. Today was the first race the
organizers were able to start up here in Alaska due to the
unseasonable cold temps this week. Tomorrow and Wednesday will
be packed full of distance and sprint classic races. Good luck
to our skier over the next two days! Today's results can be

Today DNSC skiers put their
training to the test as they pinned on numbers for a classic time
trial at the nordic center. The waxing conditions were tough and
so was the competition! Be sure to check out the full results
listed on our

today due to cold temps. Our skiers are chomping at the bit, so
we hope it warms up enough to get the race started tomorrow .
