Another good day for the Yukon skiers in Thunder Bay

It was another good day for the Yukon skiers at the NORAM races in Thunder Bay earlier today.

We saw a lot of personal best by many Yukon skiers in this individual classic sprint, often not the best event for Yukon skiers.

Knute Johnsgaard and Colin Abbott continue to ski well, finishing second and third respectively in the under 23 category. Emily Nishikawa finished third in the open women while Graham finished fourth in the open men field. Dahria Beatty finished 5th in the junior women category.

Yukon skiers full results;

Emily Nishikawa 3rd open women
Graham Nishikawa 4th open men
Dahria Beatty 5th junior women
Knute Johnsgaard 10th (2nd under 23)
Colin Abbott 12th (4th in under 23)
John Parry 14th open men
Lee Hawkings 15th open men (6th under 23)
David Greer 17th open men
Fabian Brook 23rd junior men
Logan Potter 43rd open men

The races will conclude tomorrow with an individual skate race, 10 km for women and 15 km for the men. Take care. Alain
