SVSEF Alpine U12 North Series Team scores big at North Series IMD Qualifier

The SVSEF Alpine U12 North Series Team traveled to McCall this past weekend for the 80th Annual Chris Bodily Memorial 4-Way Races. Nearly 150 athletes competed in four disciplines at two venues over three days – Slalom, Giant Slalom, Gelande Ski Jump and Cross Country Freestyle Sprint. This year’s McCall 4-Way also served as the North Series IMD Qualifier event.

On Friday evening, athletes competed in the Slalom race at Little Ski Hill. Saturday was a multi-event day with the Gelande Ski Jump followed by a Cross Country Freestyle Sprint. The athletes finished the weekend with a Giant Slalom race on Sunday at Brundage Mountain.

Each leg of the event counts towards the overall standings. SVSEF U12 athlete Alex Grant won the overall for the weekend, based on his performance in the Slalom, Gelande Ski Jump, Cross Country Freestyle Sprint, and Giant Slalom. SVSEF traveled with many athletes to this race, ranging from U10s to U12s. The SVSEF athletes all placed consistently in the top 10 through each event. 

“It was a fantastic weekend for all!” said Claudia Stern, SVSEF Alpine U12 North Series Team Head Coach. “There were lots of podiums and personal bests and unbelievable improvements all around. We saw grit and determination with kids challenging themselves in difficult stormy conditions as well as overcoming fear as they launched down the Gelande Ski Jump!”
