The final score at the meet put Caledonia into 5th place. “This is a special group of girls! Liz Hilton, Kayli Price and Erin Peckham (did not race today due to a forensics competition) have been skiing with our teams since middle school and it has been fun watching them improve as skiers and grow as people. Ada Petersen and Leah Van Hall joined the team as sophomores and each have contributed so much to the team, in so many ways. The team is a big family and this year we added four exchange students who helped round out this group, Maria Dias Riberio, Susan Butte, Zuzanna Poradzka and Chiara Marta. The entire group of seniors and exchange students have been a joy to coach, fun to watch ski and are incredible people.” Coach Petrosky “As a coach, my goal has always been to help my athletes become outstanding adults and this group is going to do amazing things.” Chiara Marta will be competing in the MHSAA Division 2 State Finals at The Highlands on Monday Feb 24th.
