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!

Marshall Nordic Ski Teams Sweep
Lake Superior Conference Titles
Congratulations to both the Marshall Girls and Boys Nordic Ski Teams who skied to victory at the Lake Superior Conference Championships on Monday, January 25, 2010! The freshly fallen snow made for a beautiful evening of racing held on the lit trails at Snowflake Nordic Ski Center.
Scoring 381 points, the girl’s team of Meghan Coughlin, Ana Gabres, Cora Hemmila, Lydia Jacobs, Angela Katoski, Lee Weintraub, and Sylvie Weintraub beat runner-up Duluth Central by 13 points. In a tie with 365 points, Cloquet-Esko-Carlton earned third place in a tie-breaker over Proctor. Duluth Denfeld also competed but did not have enough skiers to score in the team competition. Using a time trial format each skier skied a three kilometer freestyle race, followed by a three kilometer classic race. Each skier’s times from the two races were then added together to determine their overall place. The team score was then determined by the places of the top four skiers on each team. Lee Weintraub (5th place), Meghan Coughlin (4th place), and Conference Champion, Lydia Jacobs earned All-Conference honors with their top ten finishes.
The winning boys team of Mitch Campbell, Brandon Channell, Josef Fairbanks, Joe Hodge, Cody Johnson, Sam Johnson, and Nick Power earned 383 points to clinch the boys title over second place Duluth Central (369). Proctor (364) and Cloquet-Esko-Carlton (331) earned third and fourth place, respectively, while Duluth Denfeld did not have a complete team to count in the team scoring. Placing in the top ten, and earning All-Conference from Marshall were Sam Johnson (10th place), Mitch Campbell (5th place), Josef Fairbanks (4th place), and Nick Power (2nd place), who was edged for first by Duluth Denfeld’s Nate Ward by 4/10 of a second.
The Lake Superior Conference champions are looking forward to the final two meets as they finish off a great Nordic Ski season!
