Success at French Championships!

The French Championships were held in Les Houches this weekend, these were sadly the last telemark races of the winter season. Team members Jack Harvard Taylor and Anna Morrissey were competing as well as Junior team member Ollie Wotton. Jack and Anna did a couple of days training beforehand with coach Seb Mansart and the Les Houches Ski Club. Conditions were very difficult on Saturday for the classic with a thick fog covering the whole course, fortunately the sun came out for Sundays sprint race.

Anna Morrissey 3rd in the Classic

Congratulations to Anna who came 2nd in the Classic and 3rd in the Sprint in her age group. Ollie Wotton, who only raced on Saturday, came 7th in his age group, this is a great result for him after spending most of this season injured. It was great to see team member Alistair back on skis too on Sunday after a very bad injury at the start of the season.
