Thu, Mar 15, 2018 - By Mike Muha
Hanson Hills/Cross Country Ski Shop has won the 2018 Brumbaugh Cup as the strongest senior team in the Michigan Cup Series. The Vasa Ski Club was second overall, with the Grand Rapids Nordic Ski Team third.
A subset of the Hanson Hills / Cross Country Ski Shop team receives the Brumbaugh Cup at the end of the Michigan Cup Relays.
The Brumbaugh Cup scores the top five senior men and top three senior women in each race. Lowest score wins. Chris Jones performed the scoring.
Hanson Hills/Cross Country Ski Shop won the Brumbaugh Cup with only 38 racers racing in Michigan Cup individual point races, compared to 136 skiers for the Vasa Ski Club. Grand Rapids Nordic had 37 skiers completing at least one individual-points Michigan Cup race.
It doesn't take a big team to win big!
Congratulations, Hanson Hills/Cross Country Ski Shop!
