Feature Story: Ben & Britta at the Jr. Olympics!Ben & Britta left for Presque Isle, Maine on Wed. 3/3. The Midwest Jr. Olympic team traveled by bus to their destination. We await news from the kids.
In the mean time...Information I gleaned off the official website, www.juniorolympics2010.org.
The United States Ski Association allows a quota of 21 men and 21 women per division to compete at the JOs. Our division is the Great Lakes Division. Ben & Britta qualified by skiing the Grand View Challenge at Wolverine, the Keweenaw Nordic Festival in Houghton, and the Telemark SuperTour in Cable. Ben also competed in the SuperTour in Minneapolis and both kids competed in the Michigan state meet as well as the Jr. Birkie, for more racing experience.
The event will be held at the Nordic Heritage Center, which sounds like a pretty cool little place. It is managed and operated by the Nordic Heritage Sport Club, a non-profit corporation with a mission to re-establish skiing as a lifestyle in central Aroostook County. The club sponsors and coordinates community recreation programs for summer and winter sports and activities and hosts local, national and international competitive events for cross country skiing, biathlon and mountain biking competitions. They have a lighted ski loop and a 1K paved roller ski trail!
The town has 10,000 residents, a university and community college, and they are expecting upwards of 600 athletes to compete in the 2010 XC Junior Olympics. 300 volunteers will help pull off the event!

Hey, Jackie and Ken,
Ben and Britta arrived safely last night. I haven't heard what today has for them!
Hope all is well! We're leaving tonight to go to Milwaukee and visit family, then fly to Maine on Tuesday am.

Hi Jackie,
I talked to Ben yesterday after the classic sprint race. He said they needed to finish 30 or up to advance to the quarter-finals. Ben came in 34th. He wasn’t too disappointed though since he did improve a lot from last year. Only one GLT member made the quarters but he was eliminated after that race. I don’t know how Britta placed, but Ben did say she didn’t make the quarters either.
Ben said to say “Hi” to everyone. When asked what Maine was like, he said “it’s just like home except for a lot of potato fields and huge windmills”.
Here are a couple of pics from yesterday.
Thank you,
Laura
