Great Performances by Night Glider Racing Team at the Hodag Challenge Jan 5-6, 2019

Author: Rachel Kresse

Wonderful warm temps this weekend at Rhinelander to do 2 days of racing on a VERY hilly course. A lot of effort was put out by our NG Racing Team with some great performances. Sisters chasing down sisters and brothers trying to up their game always makes for an interesting race. Still waiting on some pictures so check back – we do have a few to post of the girls, but still waiting on some podium boy pictures. Day One put both Brett (5^th) and Eli (10^th) in the top ten finishers for the 7/8^th grade boys division and William (1^st) and Kota (10^th) in the top 10 finishers for the 5/6^th grade boys division.  William won the race in 12.42 minutes with a very comfortable lead. Girls 7/8^th grade division found  Tori (5^th) and Eleanor (9^th) on Day One both in the top 10 while our 5/6^th grade division had 3 in the top ten with Margaret (3^rd), Rowan (6^th), Lucy (7^th) and Fiona just one place out of the top 10  in 11^th place. Even though it was a tough course they came back the 2^nd day with Evan (5^th/6^th grade) coming in with a 7^th place finish and  Eleanor (8^th) and Tori (10^th) again gaining top 10 status. Day 2 also saw another great performance by our 5/6^th grade girls with Margaret moving to a 2^nd place finish Rowan holding on to 6^th and Fiona making that 10^th place finish. If interested in other results, they can be found at www.superiortiming.com. What matters in all this is that the kids skied their best and found joy in the snow and warm temps. Congratulations to all who took part and on to the next one! Check out our Night Glider little sister wanna Bs.
