B.C. Winter Games Results

Maja returned from Terrace absolutely exhausted. Sleeping arrangements consisted of 30 kids on the floor to a classroom and they were up at 5:30 the first two days and about 4am the last day. Bedtime after activities was around 10 pm so these kids were pooched. Conditions at Shames were not very good as there was so little snow that training was cut to a couple of runs on training day as the kids were skiing right through the snow into the dirt after a couple of runs. Shames usually rivals all other resorts in North America for snow pack. Maja trained again this weekend and will leave for the next race at Red Mountain on Wednesday.
It's been a busy week so we will post some results for now and add photos later.
Maja skied very well and is consistently placing in the middle of the pack for the K1 group for both first and second year skiers. She definitely prefers the speed of the giant slalom and is getting better results in this event so far this year.
The first day of racing was the GS event with two runs and a combined time. Maja placed 26th of 46 overall and 5th of 17 for first year K1's. A very good result against some great competition from all over B.C. Nicely done Maja. Her team mate Keegan McCooey finished well at 31st overall.
Day two was slalom, also with two runs and a combined time. Maja almost fell but recovered and finished her first run, then managed to put in a good time for her second run to still finish 33rd of 46 overall and 10th of 17 for first years. Keegan put in two great runs coming in at 29th overall. One first year from Vernon finished in the top ten.
Day three was a single slalom run. Maja matched her GS spot at 26th of 46 overall and 8th of 17 for the first year racers. Keegan finished right behind Maja at 9th or 30th overall. The same first year girl from Vernon again made it into the top ten. For the most part the top 15 spots were held by second year K1's for all the events.
This was a tiring trip for all the kids and for a bunch of 12 and 13 year old kids they did very well we think to make it through the event without an exhausted meltdown.
