The State Class B Skiing Championships were held at Black Mountain in Rumford from February 19 to 21. The week started off with bitter-cold temperatures for the freestyle (skate) format races and warmed up with a sunny day to finish off the two-race format classic race on Wednesday. The GNG Girls team turned heads with a 5th place in the skate race and 6th in the classic race for a 6th place overall finish in Class B. Top individual performances included a 10th place finish in the skate and a 7th place in the classic race by Amanda Cormier and 11th place by Emily Licht in the skate race. Other strong finishes by Leah Beran, Hannah Blatchford, Hanna Wilbur and Maggie Corrigan rounded out the team.

The State Class B third place ski meister was awarded to freshman Maggie Corrigan, who had a tremendous day in the Alpine giant slalom race at Sunday River, placing 9th overall and a strong showing in the slalom and finishes in the nordic events. Ski Meisters must ski both alpine and nordic events - a very demanding schedule - where the scores are combined from both events. Congratulations to Maggie for a great finish!

The boys team is developing their nordic skiing and showed great potential at the State Meet. Finishers in both events included Cameron Ketchen, Sam Kiyanitsa, Denny McCann and Jackson Marshall. Congratulations also go out to Amanda Cormier who was selected to the Maine J2 (14 to 15 year-olds) team. Amanda will be traveling to Bennington, Vermont this upcoming weekend with the Maine Team for three days of racing against all the other New England State teams. Good Luck Amanda!
