Skiers from across the state met for the first time this year at the Weston Ski Track for the first of two J2/Eastern High School Qualifier. The 6 kilometer course consisted of two laps of rolling V2 terrain and provided for some fast skiing. The race format, waves of four every fifteen seconds, allowed for a variety of strategies and tactics, as pack skiing showed to be successful. Lincoln-Sudbury teammates Isaac Hoenig and Chris Stock skied away with the boys’ race, with top J2 qualifier Jackson Rich of Andover following in 3rd. On the girls’ side, Lincoln Sudbury’s Corey Stock and Newton-South’s Olga Golovkina broke away from the field to claim the top two spots, while Wellesley’s Hannah Smith rounded out the podium. Corey Stock was also the top J2 qualifier for the girls.
