"Both the boys and girls continue to dominate the conference," said Wildcat head Coach Dan Raedeke. "Each week, the kids are improving and their results are showing it. Katy Boyer and Teresa Sandberg stepped it up this week. All the racers keep pushing each other and helping teammates when they are down.

"Phillip Bottjen and Mark Sandgren took the top spots on the boys' team. The top six boys (Phillip Bottjen, Mark Sandgren, Steve Wagner, Allen Nickelson, Tim Johnson and Corbin Peterson) are becoming very solid racers. We're starting to have lots of races. The team is going to have to focus and work hard."

The Wildcats were scheduled to ski in the Grand Rapids Invitational today, Thursday, January 31. Next up is the Section Meet at Giants Ridge Tuesday, February 5.
