Despite the rain and thin snow cover, the Alpine Ski Team completed their final slalom race of the season. The girls team once again took 1st place by 17 points over their next closest competitor, AB. That leaves the girls with a 35-1 record for the season, a landmark achievement!  The boys placed 3rd again and, again, narrowly missed 2nd place by a margin of 4 points. The boys ended their season with a 21-15 record, which placed them in 4th place overall.  A big shout out to Saylor Flannery, Maddie Bray, Charlotte Doran, Masie Abbiati, Logan Flannery and Roey Lashem who are heading to the state championships. Wish them luck!
