25 athletes competed in the K20 jumping at 9am Saturday. This number doubled recent years with a strong showing from the host team, SWSA. The crowd was impressive too. Clearly, a few jumpers have groupies. The life lessons were strong and evident: getting up after a fall, being a risk taker, competing for the love of sport, making friends with one time adversaries and, of course, sometimes overachieving.
The late afternoon Nordic combined race had an equally strong 14 participants. While it was led by Team NYSEF, the skiers from CT and NH were more than mere players. SWSA set a great but cardio crushing course. Anyone who finished was a victor...trust me, I tried the loop Sunday morning and have huge respect for all 14 sets of uber lungs.
Jeremy D was the lone SWSA jumper on the K30; he earned 2nd in a very talented category.
Results are posted on www.skijumpeast.com, "what's new."
Also, a big thanks to the Lakeville Hose Co for a fantastic awards dinner!
Photos to come in the next post. Some very good ones of a great day!
Congrats to all of SWSA for a job well done. There is no question that Salisbury will host a great JO,
