Michigan Cup Results

With Vasa Fest over, Vasa Ski Club has increased it lead over the Cross Country Ski Headquarters remaining in second. Grand Rapids Nordic Ski Team is still in third with only a narrow gap over Team NordicSkiRacer:

TeamTotal After Vasa Fest
Vasa Ski Club 29,784
Cross Country Ski Headquarters 22,312
Grand Rapids Nordic Ski Team 17,808
Team NordicSkiRacer 17,702
Hanson Hills/Cross Country Ski Shop 15,682
University of Michigan Nordic Ski Club 5,874

There has also been some changes in the leaders in the Michigan Cup individual standings:

  • Junior women: Maya Dean and Annie Paulson have moved into first for the junior women with 710 points each.
  • Junior men: Ben Thelen has moved ahead of Vasa Ski Club teammate Andrew Amato to take the lead for the junior men, 745 to 730.
  • Senior women: Rebeccas Davis's (Hanson Hills/Cross Country Ski Shop) increased her lead over second place, 997 to Cheryl Darnton's 995. Wendy Anderson trails just slightly behind.
  • Senior men: Sam Holmes (Vasa Ski Club) in one point ahead of Alex Vanias (Hanson Hills / Cross Country Ski Shop), 999 to 998. Team NordicSkiRacer's Kyle Hanson and Jay Woodbeck are in their draft and waiting to make a move.

With the Vasa Freestyle and the Vasa Classic this weekend, we might see even more movement in the standings. But will the leaders put a bigger gap between themselves and the rest of the pack, or will someone rise from the pack to take over the lead?
