BK FESTIVAL

IMG_1839

Vermont skiers had a strong showing in all classes at the 2014 BK Festival.  The sunny days and warm temperatures along with plenty of snow on the trails made for a truly festive atmosphere.  MNC skiers joined forces with the Frost Mountain team to post some excellent results while having a wonderful time.  Our Camp Captains Gary Richter and Lisa Aikins kept a fire going and built a throne of snow for the Bill Koch to sit in while he visited the team.

Thank you to all the parents that kicked in to make this a success.  A special Thanks to Matt Munns for hauling a ton of gear to Maine in his trailer making our setup much easier each morning.

MNC had several athletes with medal winning performances beginning with a super effort by Esther Cuneo and Ava Thurston that teamed up with FMN skier Phoebe Hussey to take  2nd place in the Grade 3-4 Girls Relay.  Shortly after that Camile Bolduc had a solid first leg before tagging Quincy Massey-Bierman and Ali Priganc.  Quincy hammered a sensational race to bring the team into 3rd place.

In the Boys Grade 7-8 Relay Kai Richter and Greg Burt narrowly missed getting on the podium with a an excellent 5th place finish. Then in the Girls Grade 7-8 race Olivia Cuneo simply skied away from the pack and tagged off to Marika Massey Bierman who skied a tremendous second leg to capture 1st place while the spectators cheered wildly.

On Sunday the freestyle races started out with some fast, crusty snow and Brady Morigeau skied into 3rd place in the 1 KM skate race at his first BK Festival! He was followed very closely by teammates Niko Cuneo (5th) and Carl Priganc (8th).

In the Girls Grade 1-2 race Julia Thurston skied a very strong race and finished in 3rd place.  Her older sister Ava Thurston followed that up with a Silver medal in the Grade 3-4 2 km race.

Aidan Bury narrowly missed the podium in the Grade 5-6 3 KM race with a 7th place and then Quincy Massey-Bierman once again skied a super race but fell just short of the podium with 5th place.

In the Grade 7-8 Boys Race the MNC crowd went wild cheering for Greg Burt as he hammered from start to finish to capture the bronze medal while teammate Kai Richter came very close with a 9th place finish. Olivia Cuneo completed her BK years with a double Gold by winning the Girls 7-8 4 KM race by 44 seconds while her long time friend and teammate Marika Massey-Bierman once again used her smooth, efficient ski technique narrowly missing the podium with a 4th place finish.

Here are the NWVT Results.  Complete Results and more photos are posted at  http://www.2014bklfestival.com/ and some more pics are on NENSA website. We will post more photos as they come in from the parents.
