In all the business of spring recaps and planning, one big news item went under our own radar…
MNC won the NENSA Club Cup this year!
This is a really cool achievement signifying not only our speediness on the race course, but our wide-ranging group of skiers of all ages. We had many skiers racing in many events across the whole season. If you donned a bib and represented Mansfield Nordic this season, thanks so much for being a part of it all!
Winning the Club Cup and not realizing it at first feels fitting for me (Adam) as a coach…if you’ve read our Junior blogs this season, you know how much of a philosophical wrestling match it is to grapple with results and achievement of the literal sense, versus growth and improvement in a holistic sense.
As a leader I used to simply focus on the outcomes as the driving motivation for training, racing, growing, improving, and measuring what we did.
As a club, we’ve also had years where we attempted to “rally the membership” with the Club Cup as a big goal.
As a leader I hope I have grown past that simple way of operating. And I like to think we’ve done the same as a club…We focus on doing the best we can, improving ourselves as skiers and an organization, and lo and behold it bears fruit in the results page, too!
Read the NENSA press release here…from NENSA:
The Club Cup rewards participation by lots of club members across many races and various age groups (up to three deep per gender). The strongest clubs generally are scoring in several age groups at many of the races. For overall Club scores, the Masters heavy NWVE came in 3rd place, with the multigenerational teams of Ford Sayre in 2nd and Mansfield Nordic Club coming in first this year!
