Nordic Skiing
Coach: Jay Lindsey (first year)
Returning letter winners: Girls: Juniors – Molly Lindsey, Karen Rice, Grace Burnett, Sarah Hignett; Sophomores – Alison Sekarak, Lauren Selwood. Boys: Seniors – Zach Nichols, Cody Dennett; Junior – Evan Arbour; Sophomores – Kameron Souza.
Key losses: Boys: Alex Cottrell, Pat Romar, Jake Gomberg.
Promising newcomers: Girls: Senior – Kenzie Hill; Junior – Anna Doyle; Sophomore – Teri Tricarico; Freshmen – Mary Claire Blanchard, Asa Gomberg. Boys: Senior – Darren Fisher; Sophomore – Connor Doyle; Freshmen – Aaron St. Pierre, Hunter Profitt, Matt Pazdziorko, Peter Michelsen, Marc Hachey.
Outlook: Arbour and Souza are the top two returning skiers for a boys’ team that must reload without Cottrell and Romar, two of the top skiers in Class C. They went one-two in both MVC championship races last season. Arbour was a top-10 finisher in each. Lindsey was 10th in both freestyle and classical at the state meet. She leads a girls’ squad whose nucleus now has been together for three seasons.
Coach’s comment: “It’s a deeper, stronger team. I’m excited for the girls. They should do well.” – Coach Jay Lindsey
