Grouse K1 Slalom February 5&6

The Mt. Washington K1 Alpine Team travelled to Grouse Mountain leaving on February 3rd for a 2 day slalom event. This is the last race to qualify for the Western Canadian Championships. Only the top 18 skiers from each zone qualify for the Westerns, based on their points for the season so far. The Mt. Washington team had excellent results at this race.
In her first run Maja disqualified when she unknowingly missed a gate at the end of a flush. Had she skied the run clean her time would have put her in 3rd place only a fraction of a second behind her team mate Keegan McCooey who put in a phenomenal run for 2nd place. In their second run Maja placed 6th  and and Keegan did not finish her run.
The boys also placed extremely well. 1st run Kole Harle 5th, Liam Gilchrist 6th, Logan Frame 10th and Robbie Yelland 12th. 2nd run Harle 1st!, Frame 6th, Yelland 9th and Gilchrist 14th.
On Day two the two run times were combined for a single result. Maja placed 12th and her team mate Keegan 16th. The boys had some trouble finishing this course , except Logan Frame who came in with an awesome 3rd place finish. There were 42 girls and 45 boys competing.
After this event and all the consistent top  20 finishes at previous events, every single one of our K1's have qualified for the Western Canadian Championships. Awesome! The team's results are all so consistently good for the whole team, that Mt. Washingtons K1's have the best team standing in B.C. !!! Well done.

Good luck at the Westerns, competition will be fierce with only the top 18 ranked skiers from each zone from B.C. to Saskatchewan. There are 4 zones in B.C.
