The Soldier Hollow races are over. Everyone skied well. Some skied faster than they every have. Everyone continues to improve. Team LHS did really well, and the coaches are proud of the effort everyone put in. Results of the 15km classic race are here . Results from the sprint race are here . A few pictures from day 1 are below. More pictures from both days are here . (Remember the email is 'lhsnordic', and the password is our exit).

Everyone is getting faster! I have posted all the time trial result here . Keep in mind that the first time trial was classic. The last two time trials have been skate. In the graph, time trials go from 1st to 3rd, left to right. If something is incorrect, let me know.
