Section 2 and HURT nordic roll at States!

HURT Juniors and section 2 lived up to the hype this week as they posted outstanding results at the High School State Championships held in Lake Placid. While skiers from all across the state posted excellent results, in the end it was a battle of state heavy weights Section V and Section II (Rochester and The Capital Region). Each region showed off their nordic strengths with team depth and impressive individual performances.
The HURT team sent section 2 coach/wax tech Dave Kvam and junior racers Becky Christoffel, Chloe Boutelle, Will Freilinghaus, Brett Schlesier, Austin Huneck, Brian Halligan (all from section 2) and Adam Luban (from section 3) to race in the events on Tuesday and Wednesday. Newsroom rookie, Ida Liku joined junior women Becky and Chloe as they were all on hand to video, pre and post race interview, document and cheer for the HURT racers.
