I am delighted to tell you that the St Cadoc’s Ski Team put in a fantastic performance yesterday to place 2nd in the Scottish Schools Skier and Boarder Cross Competition at Snow Factor.

 The course is a steep, with banked tight turns, and drop/jump and some technical humps/rollers. With over 150 pupils from all round Scotland competing, we had amazing individual placing’s of 1st and 2nd in the Female ski category for Isla and Erin Ward. The team were beaten by only 1 point as points are accrued from both across Snowboard and Ski disciplines. With St Cadoc’s having only skiers, taking Team 2nd was a fantastic achievement.

 With a great 2nd run, Luke Burke placed 6th overall in the boys category, and 1st timers for the School, Melissa Burke and Eve Turnbull both had 2 very clean solid runs down a very tight, steep, icy course, placing well. Mareesa Cassidy, who has only had a handful of races before, was also very impressive, tackling the course with great style and posting times up next to many of the ski race trainees.

 The children were, as always, polite, helpful to other teams, smiling and having fun all day. They always work well as a team and we look forward to them enjoying more schools competitions in the future.
