HURT nordic had some serious contenders for MVP this past weekend and the HRTnews room and group of social media posting elves need your help in picking the winner. A case can be made for the following contenders...
1) "Brangelina" was taken so I guess we are going to have to call them "Brattamanchukbach"? Anyway....they are HURT nordic's powerhouse-couple and a couple of powerhouses. These two tore up Lake Placid on Saturday and Sunday's JNQ's and netted top podium spots...forever having their names etched in Harry Eldridge lore.
2) For those of you that weren't there and missed it...with 45 minutes left in the Mega-Relay, Rachel Yarsevich rolled into Garnet Hill with two kids under 7 needing to get dressed for winter, bearing homemade baked goods, amidst a chorus of "are you gonna ski?" queries and...as cool and calm as Yankee's stud Ardolis Chapman...she got two kids winter-ready, skied a lap, (with time to spare) and turned certain defeat into stunning comeback in the Mixed Relay division of the Mega Relay. The late arrival snatched a full sweep from the bloody jaws of Peru Nordic who dominated the Men's and Women's division races. If that isn't MVP worthy, I don't know what is.
3) She has brought loads of championship gene contributions to the HURT team and now she snaps killer photos. Her photography jumps off the screen and....I am just gonna say it....damn, she just makes us look good!!! Kristin Halligan and her growing photo business are now on hand to show you the best of our team in true MVP style. Check out her stuff and use her for all you snazzy photo needs!
So there are our top three nominations for weekend MVP. What's your vote? Do you have another nominee? How about those coaches stuck in the trenches battling changing conditions and icing kick wax on Saturday? Should they get the nod? How about an MVP for "resilience" in our athletes who battled it out for precious JN points when the going got tough? How about a vote for coaches Huneck and Halligan for getting the waxing done, and using "coaches training" to post strong results on Sunday? How about Chris Y and DPK who removed toppled trees and blow-down from Garnet Hill early on Saturday? How about the US postal service for getting top quality waxes from far flung locations to HURT coaches on a short notice?
A lot of work goes into making the wheels of the HURT machine run smooth. From organizing and running the events, supporting athletes, driving, feeding, cheering, and making the photo memories look so good.
A big thanks from the S.M.E.T (social media elves team) goes out to all those who had a hand in making this weekend great in HURT country.
