Nice work!  For many of you, this was your first race and for a few one of your first times actually on skis!

Varsity results are a little more difficult to report due to the sprint format with multiple rounds. Congratulations to Sabrina Wuolu ’20, Catie Sikes ’21 and Beca Muntifering ’21 for skiing in the girls’ varsity races and Mitchell Brown’19, Sawyer Engholm ’20 and Will Pittelko ’20 for skiing in the boys’ varsity races.  While none of our varsity skiers made it to the finals, they all skied hard against very tough competition!

On Friday, December 29th, ten brave members of the Prep Nordic ski team ventured up to Brainerd.  They skied under very difficult, very cold conditions at the Northland Arboretum and made us proud!

Math Meet 3

Coach Mary Rueter

We hosted the December 18th Math Meet with seven area schools in attendance. The lead changed hands many times throughout the meet. When all the scores were counted, Tech finished in 1st place with 71 points, SJP was close behind with 69 points, and Sartell finished in 3rd with 67 points. Emily Huang ’20, Luc Westling ’20, and David Feng ’18 had near perfect tests, each missing just one question! The junior varsity team tied the varsity team’s score on the team test and finished tied for first place in the JV competition. Many thanks to Mary Jo Leighton, Steve Larson, Kris Fremo and Paul Keyworth who volunteered and helped proctor and grade tests at the meet.


Knowledge Bowl

Coach Charles Miller

Last Saturday, the Knowledge Bowl team braved the frigid cold and early morning to travel to Buffalo for our first meet of the season. There were 93 teams in attendance from as far away as North Branch and Chaska. Since it was before the start of the semester, roughly half of our 45 Knowledge Bowl students were in attendance. It was a tough meet, and we fought hard. In the end, varsity finished in 11th, 18th, and 21st.  Our JV had slightly more luck, finishing in 1st and 12th place. The winning JV team consisted of Miranda Curnutt ’20, Will Pittelko ’20, Sami Severnak ’20, and Henry Chen ’21. Having all five teams finish in the top half was quite an accomplishment and shows our depth this year. Next up is a shorter trip to Sauk Rapids this Saturday.
