The Como Park Nordic ski team opened its season this morning at the Hoigaards Breadsmith Relays. In strong, cold winds and on an unfamiliar course, the 15 Como Park skiers competed very well. The race consisted of 4 legs of 3 kilometers each. Teams of 2, 3, or 4 members were permitted to compete. Many of the top schools in the metro area turned out to race.
A number of skiers did two legs, including Emma Lee and Leah Roth, who comprised a two-person team that took 8th place in the high school girls division. Rachel Lee, Matt Buechler, and Luke Rustad also skied two legs. The boys team of Rustad, Phil Kramer, and Jon Tetlie placed 8th in the high school boys division.
All-in-all it was a promising start to the season. The team has many strong veterans, as well as an up-and-coming group of underclassmen who will challenge their elders and provide great depth to the team.
Check out the second photo set HERE for photos of many of the athletes who skied. Team results will be posted there as well.
