There’s been a break in the action for the Boothbay Region High School Nordic ski team.
Weekend storms have kept the Seahawks from traveling to ski races the last two weeks. Last week’s January thaw put a cramp in outdoor practices.
But with the return of winter and more snow and cold forecast this week, Coach Emily Higgins said the team is excited and ready to compete at Black Mountain in Rumford this Saturday, Jan. 25.
“The team has been working hard on strength and conditioning with football coach Brian Dionne to get more power and speed,” Higgins said. “We are excited to be on snow this week, and can't wait for the race at Black Mountain this weekend.”
Higgins said the team is also very grateful that a snowmobile has been donated to the team to allow course grooming.
Saturday’s Nordic race at Black Mountain begins at 11 a.m.
