Athletics & Activities

Alpine

The boys consistently placed in the middle of the pack for most of our 4 conference races. The girls weren’t far behind, usually placing 6th or 7th out of the 10 teams in our section. As we closed off the end of our regular season, we selected our roster of 6 racers and 2 alternates for each of the boys and the girl teams to ski at their respective section race The boys' team placed 13th out of 17 teams at the section meet, and the girls placed 16th out of 18th. That wasn’t the end for everyone, Irondale’s Anthony Petkov moved onto state after an impressive showing at sections.

After the Alpine season officially ended with our banquet, we had two recruitment nights for the Ski Club kids The recruitment nights were a success, and we got a lot of people to come and try the sport out. The kids that came to try out the sport ranged in age from 5th grade to 11th grade.

The Mounds View Nordic Team had a strong 2022-2023 season The Captains for the season were Alana Schmitzer, Brynn Mills, Claire Anderson, Levi Hammerbeck, and Sam Notch. Our first big meet in the early season was the Mesabi Ski invite . We competed there against 57 other teams The girls team placed 10th and the boys placed 26th We also had many other races throughout the season in which we could see the team progress and improve Each race was a great opportunity to see hard work pay off. Later in the season the girls team placed 3rd at Conference and the boys team moved up two spots to place 4th! We had 9 All Conference skiers and 6 Honorable Mention skiers

The Girls sprint team of Brynn Mills and Margot Derosier took the title of Conference Champs and proceeded to compete at Sections and State. At Sections, the boys sprint team of Levi Hammerbeck and Owen Kalmes won Sections and competed at State placing 6th. We had two pursuit skiers, Linnea Ousdigian and Claire Sabby complete at state and place 32nd and 69th respectively Both of the girls and boys teams received the Gold Academic Award for having an average unweighted GPA of 3.91 and 3.78. Great job to all of our skiers this season!!
