Great job by the ANST at the Wisconsin State High School Championships this past weekend in Wausau.

Irwin Wins State Championship, Guys Team Sets Historical Milestone
For only the third time in team history has a state champion from ANST been crowned. Deedra Irwin won the state classic race by a wide margin, placed 6th in the skate race and was named overall pursuit state champion last Saturday. It hasn't been 2007 and 2005 when Melanie Hoffman won the crown that an Ashwaubenon skier stood atop the podium. Irwin finished the morning's classic race a full 10 seconds ahead and added to her margin of victory in the pursuit by taking 6th in the afternoon's skate race. More details on the race results page.
The guys came up with several ANST firsts in the state championship races on Saturday; the first time two ANST male skiers (Shommer, Anshutz) made the top ten in the classic race, the first time two ANST male skiers (Shommer, S. Egelhoff) made the top ten in the skate race, the first time three ANST male skiers (Shommer, Anshutz, Egelhoff) made the top ten in the overall pursuit and the first time in team history that any ANST, male or female team, brought back an overall team trophy. The guys' team of Paul Shommer, Phil Anshutz, Sam Egelhoff, Joel Egelhoff, and Jake Egelhoff won 2nd place overall. More details are on the race results page."

Upcoming Events
Two more events are scheduled for the first season of BAY Nordic and hopefully we will be fortunate to have great conditions as we have had each session so far. I hope everyone has enjoyed the group as much as we have. All the contributions from all volunteers and coaches is greatly appreciated. We would have been even more lost without it. Total registrations for the year has hit 100 kids making this one of the largest kid programs in the State, well beyond our expectations. Between 75 to 80 kids have participated in each session.
February 20th
The next event is February 20th and time for the kids to show off at the annual Stump Farm Ski Race hosted as a fundraiser for the Ashwaubenon Nordic Ski Team. As part of the festivities, a kids event will be held featuring the BAY Nordic kids....please encourage the kids to wear the BAY Nordic hats. The ANST is setting up three distances for the kids.
- ½ km for 3 to 4 yr old group
- 2.5-3.0 km – 5 to 6 & 7 to 8 yr old groups
- 3.5-4.0 km – 9 to 10 & 11 to 12 yr old groups
The BAY Nordic kids event is set up to be a non-competitive fun event for the kids to go out and enjoy. A 5km Middle and High School Race is scheduled for 10:15am for any older kids wishing to race at their parents consent. Any Bay Nordic member wishing to participate in the race must register separately.
We will be providing our normal check- in and rental during the session. All kids must report to their groups by 10:00am and remain with their coaches until the start. BAY Nordic kids will be starting after the 5km Middle and High School race at approximately 10:40 to 10:45 am. We will have coaches and volunteers out on the course to make sure we stay on the course and help out with any problems.
Jennifer will be coordinating cookies and hot chocolate for post-event refreshments. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer to help out on the course or with refreshments.
Additional information on the Stump Farm is located at http://www.ashwaubenon.k12.wi.us/highschool/athletics/stumpfarm.cfm#d105226. An adult race is at 11:30am for any parents wishing to participate.
March 6th
March 6th is our final session and will consist of normal group activities and a cook-out. We have the back-end of the shelter along with the grill rented for the day. Grilling will start early but we would like to encourage families to stay into the afternoon, eat some food, and ski.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions. Think Snow!
