St Cadoc’s Ski Team

I am delighted to inform you that St Cadocs Ski team won the Scottish Schools Freestyle Championships yesterday at Snow Factor in Braehead. This is the 3rd year in a row St Cadocs have won this event. We had fantastic individual podiums too with Luke Burke 1st place overall Male Ski & Isla Ward, normally more used to racing, taking 3rd overall Female.

The competition comprises of two judged runs for each individual, through a slope with features such as boxes, rails and jumps of varying difficulties,  with the children being judged on tricks performed over these features, based of technical difficultly & style. 

The team, comprising of Luke & Melissa Burke and Isla and Erin Ward were, as usual, polite, conscientious and supportive all day, helping both their own team mates and others throughout the day.  They all improved their scores from last year and the other two girls placed exceptionally well too with Erin Ward 5th and Melissa in her 1st ever freestyle conception finishing in the top 20.
