 Nordic ski teams from across the area headed to camp Ripley today to compete in the section qualifier. The Bemidji girls team looking for their third straight trip to the state tournament with Little Falls and Brainer both expected to be in contention as well. The top two teams earn a spot in the state race and for the boys it was practically a race for second as Cathedral Sartel swept the podium earning that second spot to the state was Little Falls with Jackson Grant leading the way in fourth place for the Flyers. However, it wasn't a total loss for the Bemidji boys as the Lumberjacks qualified three individuals for state. On the girls side senior Kenley Prestigard placed second and led the way for the Lumberjacks as Bemidji took first place in the sections. Brainer able to hold off Alexandria by just one point as the Brainer's get to the state in the second place finish. There's a look at your team results. Bemidji girls wins once again and then for the boys side Sartel with the dominating win but the big story of Bemidji girls third straight trip to state. We felt good coming in. They looked really good in the morning and held on beautifully here this afternoon. Each year we've been at state they've improved overall. I think this team's a little better. I think we'll see an improvement. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
