Yesterday was the NCAA 10K Classic race for Braden. Early in the morning the wax was extra blue, by the time Braden started we were into klister. It was great to have Jordan Fields ('17) around to help us test skis. Braden started early with bib 3 and set a blistering pace. He skied extremely well and ended up finishing in 15th place (6th American) and only 16 seconds from the top 10. The coaches were impressed and with that result he managed to score enough points to tie MSU and to beat another 4 teams that had a full 3 skiers qualified for the race. Nice work, Braden and way to ROCK THE COW!
I was too busy waxing and cheering to take a picture until after the race:

Eli Hoenig ('17) shows up tonight, so we'll have 4 of us working hard to make fast skis for Braden tomorrow in the 20K. Race starts at 9AM. Send Braden fast thoughts!
I also have a few pics from the banquet on Tuesday night. We rode the Gondola up to the Champagne Powder Room for the event. It was a beautiful evening and the views were great!
