Heading to Whistler!
Over the past week the east has had its J3 Eastern Regional Championships at Okemo. The series got pushed back due to a day of rain. We relaxed and prepared for the upcoming races. The first day was the slalom. I was in the lead after the first run. Second run I had a bobble and got bumped back into 4th place overall. The next day was the GS. After the first run Ryan Mooney was in the lead by 1.3 seconds.
Second run I charged ahead and won that run by 2 seconds taking the win by .7 seconds. That night was a delightful banquet at the base of Okemo mountain. I was awarded the Gold Medal and was on my way Whistler. The last day was the Super-G. It was really odd weather that day with fog at the top and clear skies at the finish. I charged out of the gate and went for it. I executed my plan over the two jumps and took the victory over Ryan Mooney by .7 seconds.
It was a great series to have taken 3 gold medals-GS, Super-G and the Overall. The Eastern team heading to Whistler includes: Sam Morse, Ryan Mooney, Alec Sullivan, Czari Cochran (fellow CVA student), Mikala Smith and Danielle Brownell-Patty. We hope to represent the East and the United State well as we travel out to Whistler.
