Summer Fun!

Our season officially finished off with our end-of-the-season banquet, where we come together with the Alpine team to celebrate... and more importantly, eat! We also gave out some awards, chose our captains for next year, and took some classic pics.  2016-2017 Captains: Shelby Ahrendt, Liza Dawley, Leif Hanson & Mitchell Miller 2015-2016 MVPs: Nora Gilbertson and Leif Hanson Matt Haugen Award: Bri Paulson  Banquet!  A beautiful spring rolled in, and us Nordies took to the roads, pools, trails and tracks. Between mountain biking trips, road biking adventures, track meets, the annual Challenge of Champions, a full team game of mafia, our Culver's rollerski adventure and the St. Olaf Triathlon, we kept ourselves plenty busy.  Culver's Rollerski (or rollerblade... or bike... or run...)   St. Olaf Nordic takes Triathlon  Speaking of adventuring, the team has been busy this summer, covering all corners of the country, as well as the globe....

Meet the 2016-2017 Team!

Seniors Leif (Captain) is a senior from Northfield, MN. He is majoring in biology and after graduating is planning on taking a gap year (or two, or three, or twelve…) before becoming a surgical physician assistant. Leif’s favorite things about skiing include enjoying the beautiful outdoors with wonderful friends and beating Chris “Topher” Prokosch in races.

Leif holds the (very) unofficial St. Olaf school record for fastest walking mile at 9 minutes and 48 seconds.

But with some quick scrambling, Chris, Rebecca, Leif, and Mitchell were able to scrape together an exciting weekend of racing. Special thanks to Leif, who channeled his inner soccer mom to shuttle us to Stone Lake, WI in his stylish minivan. Also thanks to the Prokosch family for generously providing us with lodging (14 hours before we arrived) and food (you may want to pick up some more Kodiak Powercake mix). Saturday morning greeted us with cloudy skies and eye-paraly...
