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."
