Good results for the racers

We had some top ten results. Two slalom races in the AM and two slalom races in the pm. The best time for the AM and PM were used for final result. The good news, top 10 results. Agatka placed 7th and 9th. Nils 7th and 9th. Ben placed 12th but they didn't give us his last result but he had a beautiful run. Coach Yanni is so proud! This was a part qualifier for westerns, it was good to get some solid results. They now will train for the next race at sun peaks In January for GS.  Racers in this event were from Apex, Big White, Silver Star, Revelstoke, Sun Peaks and even some racers from Quebec. Our racers have been working hard for results like this, we are proud of them. They have done dryland two days a week since September. Trained at Apex 6 times and once at Baldy. Coach Yanni deserves a lot of credit for preparing them for today!
