The ConVal Nordic team traveled to Plainfield on Friday to compete in its first Nordic ski competition of the season. The race, hosted by Lebanon, was held on a fast 4.6K course.

Despite limited training opportunities given the thin snow cover, the ConVal team performed admirably. Schuyler Michalak led the Cougar girls, followed by Sawyer Cawthern, Fenia Benet-Higgins, Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, and Sage Cawthern.

Eddie Pope was the first ConVal boy to cross the finish line, followed by first time skier Rowan Inglis.

The Cougars are back in action on Jan. 18 at Lebanon.
