Thompsonville, MI — "The LMSC is a tough conference and it is helping us to grow as a team. Today, we won GS by one point and Glen Lake won slalom by three points giving them a two point victory at the meet. I am not sure Caledonia has been in a meet that close since the 2017 Regional meet where our guys qualified for the State Meet by a four point margin edging out Onekema." Coach Petrosky " It has been a great season, we are proud of everything this group of guys has accomplished and look forward to our last two races."

Over the years, our skiers have done real well here and it nice to be back this year" Coach Petrosky "They now have team scoring and our guys took 2nd place. It is always fun to race a different slope and doing well on one of the slopes in the rotation for our region is a big bonus. Jake, Jackson and Peter earned medals but a lot of our guys had nice runs that helped keep our team just behind the guys from West Catholic, who also qualified for the state Finals"
