Old Duluth East Nordic

Hello Skiers and Parents, We have a busy week this week. You need to sign-up for the Arrowhead Championships by the end of practice on Tuesday, February 1. The race is Thursday, February 3 at Snowflake starting at 11:00. You will need to be at Snowflake at about 9:00 for the classic race or 11:00 for the skate race. Everyone is welcome to enter. This is our "conference" championships and the race choices are a 5 km classic or a 5 km skate race. Both races will use the first 5 km of the 10 km trail. The Arrowhead Championships is hosted by our team and we need lots of help to pull it off. Parents please sign up on the list of jobs at Snowflake or send us an e-mail. We will have a team dinner Wednesday night at 5:30. Cost $4. We still need someone to host this. We will also wax skis before and after dinner. Thursday is the race. It should be lots of fun. Sign-up for the Junior High Championships by the end of practice on Friday. This will be held on Monday, February 7 begining at 5:00 p.m. at Snowflake. It will be a 2.5 km classic race. This race is for anyone in grades 5 through 9. Let your brothers, sisters and friends know about it. You don't have to be a member of a ski team to race it. We will also need help to run this one. East, Marshall and Central are hosting it. Let us know if you can help. And looking deeper into my crystal ball is Section 7 meet on Thursday, February 10 at Giants Ridge. See you on the trails, Dave
