Merriconeag skiers in the news!

Hot off the presses ... Today we learned that four of our nordic skiers were named to the Maine Sunday Telegram's All-State Team!  They are Fiona Ahearne, Samantha Pierce, Forrest McCurdy and Tucker Pierce.  And to really cap off the season in the best way, our own John Tarling was named Girls' Ski Coach of the Year.  See the articles HERE and HERE for more information.  Wonderful news and congrats to all!

U16 Championships

This past weekend four of our skiers headed to Fort Kent as part of the Maine U16 Nordic team.  Congratulations to Olivia Skillings, Eli Gundersen, Nick Neveu and Tucker Pierce for being part of this elite group of skiers.  Cheers to Olivia (1st Maine girl in skate) and Tucker (1st Maine boy in skate, classic and sprint) for being part of the 3rd place relay team in the final event on Sunday.  Hats off to all our skiers - the Maine team placed second overall for the weekend championship!

End of Season

The team aspect of the high school nordic season is officially over.  Passes are still good at Pineland and there is still lots of snow, so everyone can keep skiing!

Late van service has ended for the season, so skiers will need to find their own transportation home.

Congrats and thanks to all for a great, fun season!
