There's still more racing to do if you would like, here's a link to all of the citizen races:

Citizen races are fun, usually mass-start, and have door prizes and unique trophies or medals for the winners.  The snow won't last that much longer, so enjoy it while you can!

Also, our guest speaker at the banquet, Lindsay Williams, sold out of her cutting boards.  If you would like to order one, you can do so through her website at www.linwilli.com.

Section Champions!

Yesterday was very exciting for both the girls and guys teams.   The guys ended up winning by a healthy margin.  The girls team did exceptionally well by taking third.  This year has marked the first conference and section win for Andover of many more to come.  Both teams are looking very promising for next year if some time is put in over the summer. 

Here's a link to the results and a few pictures: http://www.skinnyski.com/racing/highschool/2009/section5.pdf.
