At the Section 7 Nordic Ski Meet Nick Power (junior) and Sarah Johnson (senior) qualified for the MSHSL State Nordic Ski Meet to be held on Friday, February 13, 2009 at Giants Ridge Ski Area in Biwabik, Minnesota.
Nick qualified after finishing 5th in the 5k classic race and 7th in the 5k skate pursuit race. Nick’s classic race was one of the best of his high school career; bringing him to within 18 seconds of his summer training partner, Erk Rupert of Proctor. Nick skied an excellent skate race later in the afternoon, dropping back just two spots in the last 100 meters to hard charging assaults from Kellen Witschen of Mesabi East and Peter Schurke of Ely.
Sarah, the 2009 Lake Superior Nordic Ski Conference Champion, qualified with an 8th place finish in classic followed by a strong surge forward 3 spots to 5th place in the afternoon freestyle pursuit race.
Both Nick and Sarah have worked very hard over the past two years to acheive this goal. Last summer, Sarah’s training included wilderness canoeing, competitive rowing, long distance bicycling and running on the Marshall CCR team. Nick worked hard at roller skiing, bicycling and running on the Marshall CCR team.
Marshall Nordic is sending forth two excellent individuals to represent the team, the school and section seven. All of us at Marshall Nordic are very proud of Sarah and Nick!
