Central Nordic Skiers Past and Present!
Snow is on the ground, the smell of melting glide wax is in the air, and the first races of the season are on the horizon. It is an exciting time to be a cross country skier in Minnesota and at St. Paul Central! The Central girls team qualified for state last year for the first time since 1993, we had strong representation on the boys side as well, and here in Minnesota ski enthusiasts around the state are eagerly anticipating March 16, 2020 when world champions from around the world (and from MN!) show up to compete at Wirth for a Cross Country World Cup race.
We know that the Central ski team has been an important part of many lives since the first year of the team; whether it inspired you to compete in college, was the foundation of life-long friendships you still enjoy today, or just gave you a healthy respect of winter and the limits of your body! Here is your chance to relive the fun, meet up with old friends, and support Central’s Nordic Ski team this season!
