Thanks to everyone that came out to support the team The Nordic Combined coaches from Team Austria put on a skiing and jumping clinic for Team Soho and it was amazing!!! They're here to compete in the Continental Cup, and were kind enough to spend an afternoon teaching our Comp and Devo teams. The kids had so much fun learning to jump, practicing their cross-country skills and playing a ton of games.
The team traveled to West Yellowstone for the annual fall training camp and had a fantastic time! West Yellowstone provided beautiful corduroy and picturesque trails for skiing. The comp team and devo team were able to spend several hours each day training and playing games on snow. The week was capped off with an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner with team members and family.
Mother Nature gave us a dusting of snow this week, and the kids are so excited to go skiing! In the meantime, the Devo team can have fun in any conditions.
The Comp team met up with Park City Nordic on Halloween morning to run Agony Hill. Of the six Soho kids that ran, three set a new PR-- a fantastic start to the season!! Congrats to all of the kids on all your hard work.
A HUGE congratulations to the Wasatch High School girls cross country running team! They finished off their season with a 6th place finish at the State Meet! Team SoHo skiers Pearl Harvey and Christine Sheehan placed an outstanding 9th and 69th overall. Way to go girls!
