A great result for Rachel Brown at the 2015 Craig Macfie Classic at Hillend today, with first in Under 16 girls and cup for the fastest girl in children's category. Times of 33 seconds in the first run followed by 35 seconds in the second was enough to lift the U16 trophy.
Some good performances from our other skiers, Nathan Smith showing real commitment in his skiing, a fall in the first run took him into the 40s but a second run was 38 seconds despite a mistake on the lower section. Sub 35 is definitely on the cards for Nathan before long if he puts a strong run together. Andrew Simpson was going really well in the first run when a fall on the steep section led to a hike back up the slope and a 41.9 seconds.
Ellie Green put two clean runs together and bucked the trend of slower times for the second run by taking 2 seconds off her first run time.
A great weekend for all and many thanks go to Duncan Shepherd for filling in on the coaching front.
With the SSSA race next weekend followed by the Scottish Dry Slope Championships the following weekend our skiers should be getting the hang of the Hillend slope by the end of it all!
