The Como Park Nordic Ski team had excellent performances at Friday's Twin Cities Nordic Ski Conference Meet, held at Baker Park.
In a ten team field, the Como Park girls captured second place, just one point ahead of a very strong Irondale team. The girls, who placed sixth last year, worked hard all season and showed huge improvements from last year's conference finish.
Emma Lee captured second place overall, posting the fastest skate time of the day. Mara Chin-Purcell stepped up her game to garner all-conference honors. Leah Roth overcame a broken pole strap to take an all-conference honorable mention slot. Sophomore Rachel Lee had a breakthrough meet, earning all-conference honorable mention as well. Jane Kramer missed honorable mention by just one place, but her consistent skiing was critical in nailing down the team's second place finish.
The boys team's sixth place finish marked a significant improvement over last year's ninth place finish. Led by Luke Rustad's all-conference performance and Phil Kramer and Jon Tetlie's honorable mention all-conference finishes, all of which were earned with especially strong skate races. The remainder of the team, composed entirely of sophomores and freshman, showed that they may be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
