Marshall Nordic is proud to announce that Marshall Senior Nick Power has qualified for the Minnesota State Meet following excellent results at the Section Seven Meet. Nick’s combined pursuit time of 31:04 over the two 5k courses placed him in 4th place over all. Nick started the classic pursuit portion of the race in third place. For most of the race Nick skied in 2nd place with Ely skiers Peter Schurke and Jake Dalberg in close pursuit. On the downhill into the stadium Schurke and Dalberg passed Nick to cross the finish line just 9 seconds ahead.
Nick’s strong individual finish and excellent performances from freshman Joe Fairbanks, senior Mitch Campbell, and sophomore Sam Johnson placed the Marshall Nordic Boys team in 5th place in a very competitive section of 11 teams.
The girls team was led by senior Lydia Jacobs, 17th place and 7th grader Megan Coughlan the second Marshall girl in 22nd place. The girls squad placed 5th over all as well out of 11 teams. Congratulations to the Marshall Nordic Ski Team on and excellent season!
