March 15, 16 and 17th marked the K1 provincial finals in Vancouver. Madeleine and Silken were racing in the Slalom, Kombi and GS events along with 185 athletes from around the province. Madeleine's best finish was a 27th in the stubby slalom which was a great result for her first year in K1. The top twenty was dominated by the 2nd year K1s and amongst the 11 year olds she was 5th. In the Kombi and GS she posted a 48th and 56th. Silken had some great runs in Kombi and GS with a top placing of 4th in Kombi as well as a 4th in GS. She was ranked the number one K1 female in the Okanagan zone going into the provincials and should stay there with these results. Next up for the girls is the Okanagan zone finals at Apex March 29th and 30th. As well, we'll have Sebastien Larivee racing with other 10 year old E2s in this final k1 race. E2s are invited to this race to give them a taste of what K1 will be like next year.
After the Okanagan Finals Silken will be heading off to the Whistler Cup which hosts the best K1 and K2 racers from around the world. It should be another exciting race series. Good luck to Silken and good luck to the Canadian team which won the event last year for the first time in 15 years.
