UPDATED – Mid-A Junior National Team, U16 Team and EHSC

Congratulations to all the junior racers that worked so hard to qualify for the 2014 Junior National Championship races in Stowe, VT.  Those juniors that qualified for the Mid-Atlantic race team can be seen here: http://www.midaxc.com/home/announcements/mid-ajuniornationalfinalrankings

It was a challenge to qualify this year especially given the weather conditions tossed our way.  Some of these kids battled pouring rain in Lake Placid, soft deep snow in Old Forge and one qualifier was even cancelled. It was awesome to see them stay so positive and work so hard.

The teams for the U16 (J2) and Eastern High School Championships will also be drawn up from these lists as well as from the results from the State Championship High School meet.  The NY teams were not named in Bristol as planned because the trip leaders had not been confirmed.

Rob Hinsdill will be coaching the U16 trip this year and if you are interested in attending or helping out please email him at hinsdill@yahoo.com.  The following list of athletes have qualified and expressed interest in attending this weekend of racing.

U16 CHAMPIONSHIPS

Name                                     Club

The Eastern High School Championship team has  not officially been named because a trip leader has not yet been found.  If you are interested in learning more about this event please visit here:(EHSC).  If you are interested in leading the trip, helping out, waxing etc. Please send an email to Margaret at margm@nysef.org to express you interest.  If there are not trip leaders/waxers/organizers and chaperones unfortunately athletes who wish to attend will have to make their own travel arrangements and stay with their parents.  This is not an ideal way to have this trip so if you are willing or able to help organize the NY team please volunteer your weekend.  It will make a much better experience for the kids.

Here is the EHSC qualifier results/list. Athletes highlighted in red put their name on the sign-up sheet at Bristol and expressed interest in attending.  Athletes in Blue are too young to attend this years championship races.  Margaret Maher will be able to help wax at the venue but will not be able to serve as trip organizer.
