NATC Shines at the GMC FIS Race at Lake Louise!
Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 12:11AM GMC sponsors a race series for FIS athletes across Canada. The first western race was the Lake Louise GMC Cup on January 8-11, 2011. NATC athletes, both current and the alumni, had very good results. Megan Henkelman had the best GS results on the team, coming 7th overall both days (1st and 4th J1 -15 and 16 year olds). She also had good slalom results coming 8th overall (3rd J1) one day and 11th overall the next. On the first slalom day, she was the only team member to finish the race!

On the second SL day, Thea Miles finished 3rd overall (2nd J1) and Andrea Turner finished 6th overall (5th J1) Nicole Sperling was delighted to try her first races of the year, although she did not get a finish. After a few frustrating days, Jeff Miles was pleased with a 6th place overall finish on the last slalom day. Jonas Ordman and Zoe Hertz had consistent series and are slowly moving up the points ladder. Unfortunately Karolina Donnelly suffered frostbite on her toes and was unable to complete the series.
Alumnus Vanessa Alboui (Alberta Ski Team) had a very good series finishing 2nd, 2nd, 1st, and 5th overall durring the event. Filip Gigic (Alberta Ski Team) had 3 top 5 overall finishes in the series (3rd, 2nd, 5th) Alumni Nicole Poleschuk (Nevada State University) consistently placed in the top 10 overall with 5th, 9th and 2nd placings.
