Team Scream 2016 Results!

A giant thank you to all the volunteers, skiers and spectators who made this year’s Tropical Team Scream an event to remember.  The costumes, the racing, the food, the timing, the marshalling, the parking, the Bunny Race,  the registration, the bib prep, the cookie medals, the first-aid, the awards and prizes, the poster artwork, the sound system, the photography, the grooming, the clean-up… there were over 30 volunteers and 85 racers!   High-fives all around!  And another one to the sun – that eventually burned through the clouds and turned the day truly tropical!  – Eleanor Wilson

A very big THANK YOU to Eleanor for bringing such a great event together; we all had a great time!

Teck BC Midgets Race Results

Tech BC Midgets

Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club showcased Revelstoke’s skiing talent, organizational skills, and trails this weekend in high fashion. Skiers from Smithers to Vancouver Island competed in the Teck Midget Cross Country Ski Championships.  The 182 athletes, including 23 Revelstoke skiers, were thoroughly entertained and exhausted during the two days of races that took place this past weekend.

2.5 km Interval Start, Classic Race, Saturday- The weekend of racing started out with a lung busting 2.5 km interval start, classic technique race. Coaches were impressed with the fact that the course had a bit of everything- a long climb off the start, a harrowing descent, nice straight stretches, and what is a race without a heartbreaking uphill to the finish?Revelstoke highlights included a half dozen skiers competing in their first ever official race, and 4th place finishes from Nelson Luxmoore and Jaclyn Elliott.

4 x 1.5 Classic/Free technique Relay, Saturday- this event was a crowd pleaser, as groups of four skiers, doing two legs of classic, and two legs of free technique battled it out on Saturday afternoon. The sound was deafening as the first skier for Revelstoke, Alana Brittin came into the transition area to give Kate Granstrom a twelve second lead over the Hollyburn Nordic (Vancouver) team.  Granstrom took the lead and added to it, as did her twin sister Beth Granstrom.  Elizabeth Elliott had the trail to herself as she crossed the finish line to the jumping on their feet, cheering audience.  The Revelstoke win over Hollyburn ended up being almost a minute, and one of sweet victory.

300 metre free technique sprint, Sunday- While the sun was a welcome addition to the Teck Midget Championships this weekend, the warmer weather made for difficult conditions on the sprint course. Soft snow and a nail biting downhill hairpin corner were a challenge to most skiers on Sunday.  Elizabeth Elliott’s 3rd place and Alana Brittin’s 4th place were outstanding highlights for the Revelstoke Nordic Ski team.

In the aggregate points race for the weekend, Revelstoke Nordic Ski Team finished with a terrific 3rd place out of the 19 teams in attendance. Chief of Race and Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club President Dave Kaegi commented, “this weekend exceeded our expectations.  I was absolutely thrilled with the ability of our club to host a major provincial level event, the ability of our facilities to withstand the presence of 500 athletes, parents, coaches, and the efforts of our volunteers, numbering 80 each day- none of this could have happened without having such an incredible and outstanding volunteer base.”

Abigail May, Larch Hills Nordic Ski Team coach raved, “I think that Revelstoke pulled out all the stops to put on an amazing event. They flawlessly overcame the adversity of the rain. The course was in fantastic shape, and made for really fantastic skiing. The club volunteers were really friendly and welcoming.  The volunteers clearly put in a great effort and should receive a big thank you from skiers from across the province.”

In addition to racing, athletes reveled in the other events of the weekend: a banquet at the community centre that included esteemed guests such as Mayor David Raven and three Olympic cross country skiing athletes- Chris Jefferies, Stefan Kuhn, and Drew Goldsack.  Mayor Raven’s brief history lesson on the history of skiing in Revelstoke impressed the dinner guests and helped explain why we have such a strong cross country ski community to this day. The Olympians inspired and impressed the young athletes with their stories of the challenges of their paths to the national team. Of course a flash mob, dance contest, and a myriad of draw prizes also made many a happy skier this weekend.

Revelstoke Coach Matt Smider was thrilled with how the weekend unfolded:  “What an impressive showing from our athletes at the premiere event for their age group. This was a highly competitive weekend with 182 athletes  across four age groups. Some of our skiers competed against competitors that they had never competed against before. Often times we think of home court advantage, but this weekend there was actually an added pressure of competing at home. Our skiers did admirably, achieving results beyond what they thought possible. The Teck Midget Championships was the culminating event to a very successful season and the whole community should be thrilled with how our skiers and volunteers performed.”

Special Awards and Results:

Heart Award- to the boy and girl who showed the most heart by overcoming adversity, in Saturday’s races.  Elizabeth MacDowell of Revelstoke was the girl’s winner. Elizabeth, one of the youngest racers competing this weekend, overcame her extreme case of nerves to compete, allowing her team to finish the 4 x 1.5 km skate skiing and classic relay. The boy winner was Marek Van Bylandt of Hollyburn Nordic Ski Club (Vancouver) who skied to a strong finish, even with a broken ski boot.

Classic Skiing Technique Awards (best technique in today’s races)- Arianna Morrone (Revelstoke), Johan Henckel (Strathcona), Sophie LaChapelle (Telemark), and Novie McCabe (Methow Valley). This was Arianna’s first ever race, and it certainly bodes well for her future athletic career to be singled out by the technique judges.
