Performance

Barbie double medaled today, which include a top five finish in a very tough field. She has been extremely fast and consistent this season and has lead our team every step of the way.

CO-MVP

Mya Baldwin

Mya had the opportunity to be the very first girl on both courses today, which is a tough task and she really skied well earning her first medal. She is sophomore and really grew as a skier today by overcoming a tough second slalom run to score in the top ten in giant slalom.

Elena Luraschi

Elena, who is an exchange student from Italy, has been leading our B-Team this year and has times that are becoming very fast. We are very happy with her improvement and know that she will be a contributor moving forward for the B-Team and at our next Invitational.

The Caledonia Girls bring home some hardware

Thompsonville, MI — "Our girls really skied well at the Benzie! Barbie, Evie and Mya ended up bringing home medals and our other skiers really did well at the race. The girls are really skiing well right now on the big hills against teams that are ranked in the state right. State ranked GR Christian has great team and so do Onekama & Benzie, so it made for a competitive race. Benzie edged us by .5pts to take third but regardless of the outcome our team learned some valuable lessons at the race today."

Thompsonville, MI — The Benzie Central Bryan Groenevelt Memorial Invitational is held at Crystal Mountain in the memory of Bryan Groenevelt a local ski racer who tragically died while racing at Crystal Mountain.
