The Town of Webb Girls and Boys Alpine Ski Teams were crowned Section III Champions following two days of competition at Song Mountain on February 14 and 15.
At the end of the competition, the State Championship teams were announced
It was bittersweet as this year Section III decided that only seven racers (each girls and boys) as opposed to the usual 12 racers would be named to the team.
With that in mind, it was important to be Section Champs as that allowed for an extra person to be added to the team.Named to the Girls’ State Team are McKenzie Liddle, Lauren Holt, and Jessica Hannah.
Daniel Heroux, West Tickner, and Corey Down were named to the Boys’ State Team, with Griffin Kleps as first alternate, and Carter Lawrence as second alternate.
With just a couple weeks to continue training before competing at Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, the boys and girls will still be hoping for more snow.
At which point they will gladly strap on their “twinnies” and head out for a bit of recreational skiing and “jibbing.”
Good luck, champs!
