We only had six skiers, which put extra pressure on the team to be as flawless as they could be. But I have to say that I was really impressed with how the kids stepped up and compensated for the lack of depth.
What happened to Eli could have happened to us just as easily. Our place at state isn't a sure thing until the final gun sounds. All it takes is for your top two guys to go down and then it's up to the bottom four to make up the points.
It's another GS race and the course should be longer. If we want to beat the North Tahoe and Truckee men we'll have be more aggressive and make sure everyone is there to race.
