Snow Sports Challenger Series 2

Max Shao – Gold Medal Winner

A huge congratulations to our skiers who competed in the Snow Sports Challenger 2nd in the Series on Tuesday 13 May at Snowplanet!  It was a high-energy day of Giant Slalom (GS) and Dual Racing, with tough competition across the board.

Max Shao led the charge with an outstanding performance, claiming 1st place in the GS and taking home the gold medal!  A fantastic effort also from Nathan Gray, who placed 7th and Lucas Wuensche, who secured 9th.  All our other skiers, Kai Jutzas, Tyler Zhao, Josh Sullivan, Rio Yu, Eason Wang, Alister Liu, Cara Zhang, Artemis Yang and Yongyi Lyu, finished in the top 20, an incredible achievement in a challenging field.  Jackson Liu was our only snowboarder and finished 6th in his GS event.

In our dual racing the boys ski team came 1st equal, our girls ski team 3rd equal and snowboarding was 2nd equal.

Our current standings and points before our last event in August are:
Northcross Boys Ski team 1st
Northcross Girls Ski team 3rd
Northcross Boys Snowboarding 6th

Well done to everyone involved- your hard work, determination and team spirit shone through on the slopes!  We are looking forward to the final event in August.
