If we had Betsy we think we could have taken a run at Marquette (for the state title). But we still have a nice group. Even without her we're pretty good.
No doubt if she had been able to compete she'd be nationally ranked.
Marquette is definitely the favorite, but I think our boys will be right there. If we ski the way we can, we'll qualify. It's as simple as that.
We're getting better and better, and we're skiing as a team instead of a bunch of talented individuals. That's really important at this time of year.
It's really sad. Two years in a row - and she worked so hard. She wanted to ski high school so badly, but now she won't have those memories.
We're off to a great start, but it's early yet. I thought both (boys and girls) competed very well as a team.
Every skier contributed to the scoring. We were very balanced.
It's absolutely pouring right now, and it has been since one o'clock. The weather has been a disaster, but we'll get it done.
Winning that first one is a big confidence booster. I don't think the girls will be going to states (Feb. 27) thinking about finishing second.
