Last update from the Ski Nationals

It was our last day at the Ski Nationals today. The races consisted of the mass start classic races.

It was amazing that we were able to finish racing on hard wax at a National Championships in late March!

It was a good day overall for the team with 2 medals for the Yukon skiers on the last day of racing.

Here are the result summary from today:

Juvenile boys (10 km classic)

Derek Deuling 2nd
Victor-Emile Thibeault 10th
Sasha Masson 12th
Ben Puskas 22nd

Senior Men (50 km classic)

Marcus Deuling 36th

Junior Women (20 km classic)

Unfortunately, our junior girls and juvenile girls could not participate in the races this afternoon as we had to get to the airport to catch our flight to Edmonton :(
