The Nordic Ski Team concluded the race season at the Nordic State Championships in Minturn, Colorado. Of note were Lola Villafranco’s ‘22 two second-place finishes in the skate and classic races, and Bryn Peterson’s ‘21 15th place finish in the classic race. Cassidy Meyer ‘21, Tristan Trantow ‘23, and Ellie Urfrig ‘22 also represented the school well with excellent performances. The team was also bolstered by the support of Mandy Lei ‘22, who chose to attend as a team photographer after her first season on the Nordic Team.

Project Day 2020 was an opportunity for students to create and pursue an individual project of their choice.

Students engaged in an amazing array of projects ranging from mural painting to baking bread, from biking expeditions to sewing projects, from watercolor compositions to volunteering within the community. As their final assignment, they presented short videos to faculty and peers about their project and what they learned from the experience. The results were impressive and a true testament to our creative, caring and adventurous student community.

Finally, the Alpine Ski Team wrapped up a strong season at the Colorado High School Alpine Ski State Championships in Beaver Creek. Fiona Ritchie ‘20, Sonja Kainulainen ‘20, Lexi White ‘20, Langdon Dresser ‘21, Ramon Torva ‘20, and Gavin Bohadik ‘23 competed in slalom and giant slalom events. The following honorable mention athletes deserve recognition for their consistent efforts throughout the season: Tatym Levine ‘20, Angelika Minoli ‘22, and Tanner Rubinstein ‘23.
