Giant's Ridge/Mesabi East Invitational Results

The Como Park Nordic team claimed strong finishes in all four of the divisions at the Giant's Ridge Invitational. Both the boys and girls JV teams placed around 40th, despite being one skier short of a full scoring team.

The varsity teams shined, with the girls capturing 33rd and the boys taking 50th place of around 80 teams. Rachel Lee came in as the top Como finisher of the day in 48th position on the extremely challenging freestyle course. Leah Roth took 55th in the girls classic race.

Jon Tetlie and Nate Rue led the way for the boys, placing 83rd and 109th respectively in the classic and freestyle races. The most notable aspect of the boys performance, however, was the strong depth shown by the junior and sophomore classes. Likewise on the girls side, a strong senior class is bolstered by sophomore and junior classes that are stepping forward, making the team's future look promising.
