Boardercorss and Skiercross at Bromley 1/29

Jesse Kunkowski in the start gate for Heat 1

Another brilliant day for the KWSC/KMS Snowboard Team at the USASA Boardercross and Skiercross events at Bromley. Today's course was a HUGE step up from the last race 2 weeks ago. Much bigger rollers, more jumps and drops at the end of most banked turns, it was clear that the riders with the best technique and skill would win. Luckily, we've been training hard!

-KWSC Freestyle Skier Mazie Haden took first in the Skier 10-12 Girls Division, as well as first Overall for Skier Girls

-KMS Freestyle Skier Taylor Doxsee took First in Skier 16-18 Boys and Overall Boys

-KMS Snowboard Rookie Lauren Habony took third in her first contest ever- way to go Lauren!!!

-KWSC Snowboard Athlete Alex Sheppard survived a multi-rider pile-up crash in his second heat and held on for third in the finals!

-KWSC Snowboard Athlete Abby Lancour survived three heats to land in fourth place in a stacked Youth (14-15) Girls Division

-KWSC Snowboard Athlete Kamran Gossieaux had a great first heat, placing second, but was eliminated in the second heat.

-KWSC Snowboard Athlete Jesse Kunkowski looked promising in time trails, but had a the wipeout of the day during his first heat.

we're back at it again tomorrow, so be ready for more pictures and words Sunday evening. GREAT JOB TEAM!!
