 Well for the second consecutive year the Bemidji Girls Nordic skiing team is off to the state tournament. The Lumberjacks won section 8A last week and the thrilling come from behind fashion by a point. Next up, Giants Ridge where 16 teams and 160 skiers will hit the trails hoping to hoist a trophy. One of them senior Sadie Hamrin who is coming off the first ever individual section title Bemidji Girls history. She's leading a young team who has experience but most importantly they ski for each other. More for the team because like you know I could have settled like seconds not bad but I don't know having that having the motivation of the team to do it was just so much fun. That experience really really paid off I mean this team really held it together in the afternoon stayed calm and just skied hard. We did as a team it wasn't just one person that did it all because we all kind of made up ground it wasn't just Sadie or Kinley it was everyone. It's so wild at the state course everyone's like the same pace as you and knowing that it's just kind of nerve-wracking because then you just know that people are gonna be with you the whole time. So here's the schedule for the state meet tomorrow at Giants Ridge 5k freestyle in the morning and the 5k at classical races in the afternoon.
