Cook County/Silver Bay skiers followed up on their great showing at the Section Meet at Giant’s Ridge with another stellar day at the State Meet back at Giant’s Ridge on February 13.

Reilly Wahlers was the top Viking skier, putting together two solid runs and finishing in 10th. That earned her a spot on the stage with the other top 10 skiers in the state.

The other members of the State girls’ team were Sela Backstrom, finishing in 53rd; Kalina Dimitrova, 68th; Elsa Lunde 69th; and Emma Sexauer, 78th. The girls’ team finished 8th.

Will Surbaugh was the lone skier for the Viking boys and he skied well, coming in 38th in the large state field.

WTIP’s Rhonda Silence checked in with Alpine Ski Coach Charles Lamb to hear his thoughts on the very successful showing at State.
