Lebanon Winter Carnival

Another great day for jumping down in Lebanon as NYSEF had 9 athletes competing on all the hills Leb has to offer. We started the day off with Logan Livreri tackling the K10 with his new jumping equipment that he has only been on twice before this trip and he killed it!! Logan had two jumps of 9.5 meters almost setting new hill records and coming away with a gold medal for his first ski jumping meet.

We than moved up to the k25 Where there was a whole slew of young and eager jumpers ready to test the bottom of the hill. Landon and Avery both had solid jumps and bringing home the silver and bronze in the J5 class. Young Rory Riggins who jumped in the J4 class on the k25 had two respectful jumps and also ended up on the podium in 2nd.

With a short break between the small hills for lunch we than moved up to the main event in the afternoon on the K50. On the K50 we had about half the field representing NYSEF and they did not disappoint. In the J2 class we had Luke and Miles taking first and second with Nate showing huge signs of improvement coming in fourth. As for the ladies there were only two brave enough to take the plunge and it was Danielle and Annie showing some of the boys how it was done both having solid jumps and a smile on their faces every time they came back up. Zach cleaned up in the J1 class winning by over 80 points and also coming close to breaking the hill record held by Jonathan "The Featha" Kling.

I hope we can keep rolling tomorrow as we will be in Hanover to test our metal on the K10,K20,K30 and the cross course! Should be a good one.
