BSF brought 20 athletes to McCall, Idaho, for the last weekend of Intermountain Division (IMD) competitions. High level athletics and team camaraderie were on display with BSF athletes donning red hearts and glitter and sharing many hugs and laughs at the finish line.
BSF Nordic Program Director and Head Coach Andrew Morehouse said, "I was proud of the way our team supported each other through the weekend as conditions changed from soft and snowy on Saturday to firm and sunny on Sunday. Sunday was also the first classic distance race of the season for our athletes, and they were hungry as they skied around the 5 km course. Several of our athletes had personal season best performances."
Highlights included victories from: Max Kluck, Natalie Nicholas, and Ally Wheeler; and top 10 results from: Woody West, Wyatt Stoddart, Phin Fischer, Necia Nicholas, Hannah Kluck, Clara Wyatt, and Tobi Jacobsen.
All races involved individual starts, which each skier starting separately. This year, due to the pandemic, BSF requires their middle and high school racers to travel separately and lodge with their families if they attend races.
