Neither wind nor cold kept the Marshall Nordic Team from giving its all at the 2011 Section 7 State Qualifier at Giants Ridge on Thursday, February 10. Subzero temperatures delayed the start by an hour, but the team worked hard to keep Marshall in the hunt for a state berth. Joe Fairbanks, in a bravura performance, surged to a state-qualifying finish. Illness amongst several team members was an issue, but thankfully the team is young, and there will be a new season in just eight short months to put the lessons of this year to good use. Think snowy thoughts and let’s hope that this year, we once again have snow on the first offical day of the CCSki season to get things off to a fast start. Thanks to all the coaches, parents and supporters for a good season, and a big “Great job!” to the skiers for the time, effort and dedication invested in their sport.
