Anchorage Junior National Recap

What a fun filled, awesome view packed, great team effort trip! We did not bring the biggest team up to Junior Nationals this year but we did bring home a lot of hardware and good Results!


We would like to thank the Alaska division for putting on one of the better JN weeks that I have been to with great weather making everything run about as smooth as it can. The K65 was dialed in and we got to see some long rides and the XC facility was killer with a great spectator friendly coarse and super wax and changing facilities.

To check out the full results of each day and to see how team EAST did check out this web page below.

Special shout out to Landon Livreri who at age 13 got a top 15 in special jumping, Gabby Armstrong at her first JN being on the podium multiple times and also setting a personal record of 63m, and Miles and Karl skiing like animals in the two man team NC event and placing a solid 2nd!

The great white north

After 20 hours of travel on Thursday we made it to Anchorage Alaska and have had two great days of training. Kids like the hill and we will test out the XC coarse this afternoon that everyone has told us is beautiful. Here is a team pic that was taken on a little drive up into the mountains to over look the city.

Tomorrow is official training and opening ceremonies and Sunday the fight for podium spots begin!

Two weeks out west

 

The eastern team is about to wrap up a two week stay out in Park City where we have been training and competing in the 15th annual Springer Tournee. Lots of good jumps, bad jumps, some crashes, roller skiing, movies, and even freestyle skiing into the pool.

As most of you might have heard that Beckett Ledger had a crash out here and broke his femur but is recovering well now back in LP and should be ready to go for the winter season.

Trent, Karl, Landon, Matt, Beckett and Gabby all had some highlights on this trip with even some of the team coming home with new Personal Distance Records in training and also some quality rides in competition.

Full results of every hill and event can be found here.

http://www.pcnordicskiclub.org/results/230-15th-annual-springer-tournee- 


The highlight I must say was on the k90 and k120 as we got to see the older Eastern athletes who are now on our women's and men's national team dominate the podium over the weekend. Nick Fairall of Andover NH won both the k90 and k120 events and we saw Nick Alexander and Chris Lamb join him on the k120 podium to make it an Eastern sweep.

 

 

Miles Lussi who was named to the Devo team this summer won the junior class with ease on the k90 and showed some solid jumps on the k120 with the big boys.

 

 

 



 





So after a busy action packed 2 weeks in PC we will be traveling home to train and get ready for our next adventure to Norge ski club in October and then getting ready for Lake Placid to host the normal hill national championships for special jumping and Nordic combined!!
