A Great Finish to the Season!  2nd Place at the Caledonia Invitational

A Great Finish to the Season! 2nd Place at the Caledonia Invitational

Friday the Scots traveled north to Crystal Mountain to start what is planned to be a new tradition for the team, the Caledonia Invitational. "The weather at home has just not cooperated, we have only been able to hold two conference races and I wanted more for my skiers so I looked into moving our final conference race to Crystal Mountian but there were scheduling conflicts with most of the teams in the SWMSC. At that point, I decided to book the race and invite a group of teams that we race against during the season. Plainwell TK was the only conference school that could make the date work and we were excited to introduce them to the Invitational experience and enjoy racing with Benzie Central, Onekama, Maple City Glenn Lake and Grand Rapids Christian---which is a pretty tough field of teams. GR Christian qualified both of its teams for the State Finals and there were a bunch of State Finals Individual qualifiers on the teams that attended the race. Our main goal was to make sure that everyone's JV or B Teams has one more chance to race and we were successful."

Caledonia Boys Take 6th at Regionals

Tuesday was a beautiful springlike day, one that would have been perfect for a baseball game or track meet but it was also Valentines day and the MHSAA Region 5 Ski Meet at Cannonsburg. East Grand Rapids did a great job hosting the race and an even better job keeping the slope conditions as good as possible in the 55 degree temperature.

"We were invited to the Wooden Shoe Tuesday and we have been so busy I wasn't sure if the kids were up to racing in it or not so we had a meeting and the response was an enthusiastic yes! The only thing that I heard was that a few of my guys were competing in the Regional Robotics competition and were a little bummer that they could not be in two places at once (they took second and are going to States---Yeah!)." Coach Petrosky " It is exciting to work with athletes that love their sport and want to race. We had just returned from a long trip and they have a dance later today but they showed up and did their best when they could have said they didn't want to race and slept in on Saturday knowing we are heading back north Sunday to train all day for Regionals---these kids are dedicated"

Schuss Trip Ends with a Third Place Finish for the Boy's Team

"Our past few weeks have been crazy! Four invitationals, hundreds of miles traveled to train and race, two conference races and a bunch of late nights. Our whole season has been condensed due to the lack of winter weather and we been taking advantage of every opportunity to train and race to prepare for our regional race which is February 14th". Coach Petrosky "We raced at Cannonsburg Saturday, traveled north Sunday to train at Schuss and then raced on Monday and our boys did a great job! We finished third in a tough field of teams from central and northern Michigan that included Mt. Pleasant, who was ranked 8th in the state in the preseason rankings and may move up in the rankings when they are released next week."
