It was another successful day for Team BC at the U18 National Championships as the focus shifted to giant slalom at Georgian Peaks, Ontario.
FLASH QUOTES:
JP Daigneault (Men's BC Team Coach) – "Great to see Brodie Seger get the silver today, but he was leading after the first run and wanted the win. He had a couple of bobbles in run 2 that cost him the race. Martin Grasic had the opposite sort of day, climbing up into 4th place overall after a second run that was much more dynamic than the first. Patrick Carry continues to improve since his return to snow following a deep cut to his shin last month, finishing nicely in 10th spot. We've had many flashes of brilliance from our BC skiers at these U18 national championships and we are psyched about our medal count so far. Off the podium we are seeing some excellent skiing too. Today it was young Whistler Mountain Ski Club racer Marc Leroux's turn to make a statement. He popped into 11th place overall from start position #33. Everybody loves a quiet kid who lets his skiing do the talking!"
Aaron Speden (Women's BC Team Coach) – "What a week it's been. Our BC girls have been having success all week at the U18 nationals and today was no exception, with Hallie MacLachlan, Stephanie Gartner and Kelly Steeves all in the top-10."
Hallie MacLachlan (Fernie Alpine Ski Team) 5th today – "Today was a great success for me. I know the areas where I can clean up my skiing and make tactical improvements, but this was my first GS finish this year and that makes me very happy!"
Brodie Seger (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) 2nd today – "I was feeling pretty drained of energy this morning after spending all of yesterday battling the flu, so my main focus was just simple, solid skiing. I was pretty surprised with my position after first run given the circumstances and because I made a few mistakes. I made another crucial mistake second run and I'm glad I was able to hold on to second place. I'm looking forward to our last race tomorrow and I sure hope we can get more than one BC boy on the podium at once!
