The Nicolet-Shorewood Ski Team kicked off their season racing giant slalom at Sunburst on Wednesday night against Badger, Menomonee Falls/Germantown/Sussex; Oconomowoc, and Brookfield East. It has been a tough start to the season with the warm weather and the athletes have not been able to run gates in training. Ryan Optekar’s (Shorewood) 4th place finish along with solid efforts by freshmen Hunter Rauen (Shorewood) in 12th and Brogan Robert’s (Shorewood) helped the team to a 3rd place finish. Hayden Summ (Nicolet) also ripped a great 2nd run in the race. This young squad competed well against the top teams in the Midwest High School Ski Conference and it will be interesting to track their progress and see if they can qualify as a team for the State Championships.
Anna Glaisner (Nicolet) had a 6th place overall finish in the Varsity Girls race with Avi Dickman (Nicolet) finishing 10th in an impressive showing. Marigold O’Connor’s (Nicolet) 4th place finish in the JV Girls race helped lead the team to a 1st place finish!! Isla Marks (Shorewood), Zella Tomasi (Shorewood), Claire Pielmeier (Shorewood), Annemarie Melbye (Nicolet) took spots 9 through 12 in the race demonstrating the depth of the team. The team next races slalom at Heiliger Huegel on January 11th.
