BCST racer Brodie Seger, of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, continues his impressive charge in slalom winning for the second day in a row at FIS races at Alpine Ski Club in Ontario, leading up to the U18 National Championships starting later this week. Stephanie Garter, of Fernie and the BCST, also showed promising form again today, bettering her 4th place finish to take a podium spot today in 3rd position, while Connor Callaghan, from Kelowna and the Big White Racers, mounted an impressive “attack from the back”, finishing 15th with the 61st starting position.
FLASH QUOTES:
Brodie Seger (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) – "I came into these two races mostly thinking about using them to get ready for U18 nationals. I needed to get used to the icier conditions of the east. Winning the first run definitely came as a bit of a surprise, but it showed me what I was capable of. I'm pretty happy with these results, but its time to stay focused for the rest of the races. I'm looking forward to my last shot at U18 nationals!"
Stephanie Gartner (Fernie Alpine Ski Team) – "It was a great field of girls up at the Alpine ski resort in ontario. The race was amazing, great snow conditions and the weather held up as well! I was really happy with my result, both runs were clean and fast enough to get the spot that I did!"
Blake Ramsden (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) – "Today was a great day for the BC Team. My teammate Brodie Seger took the win for a second day in a row, and anytime a team member wins a race it really brings up the confidence of the whole group. We're ready to lay it down on the biggest stage, the U18 Nationals, in two days."
Martin Grasic (Windermere Valley Ski Club) – "These past two slaloms were pretty tough for me, but hopefully I'm getting out all the kinks before junior nationals."
Patrick Carry (Fernie Alpine Ski Team) – "So far I am pretty happy with my racing in Ontario, this being my first series back since my injury. I feel like I am meeting my expectations, but there is a lot more in the tank. I have had sections and runs I'm very excited about with look forward to the upcoming U18 National races."
