Team NC Bronze- Miles Lussi and Luke Daniels
Some other Cool things that happened off the podium
Karl Schulz had the fastest cross country time by 26 seconds with a fall on the coarse and skied from 22nd place up to 14!!
The team event saw EAST team 1 finish a solid 5th with rookie Trent White on the team.
No one got lost at the Mall of America.
Trent White in the elimination jump was so excited to jump he was a meter early on the take-off and coach Bliss caught it on video and it is amazing!!
East team 2 which was Matt Doyle and Karl Schulz turned in the 2nd fastest XC time and moved from 9th to 6th.
Coach Bliss only forgot to bring the ESJNC banner to one place this year.
There were a total of 136 coaches meetings a new record for JNC.
All in all I am very pleased with how the kids did this year and how they represented the Eastern ski jumping and nordic combined on and off the hill.
Thanks again to Minneapolis ski club for holding an amazing JNC and all the hard work their volunteer's did to make this happen.
Next year we will be heading to Alaska for JNC so we hope to field another strong team!!
Coach Bliss
