Scottish Schools Dryslope Championships, Hillend


Some fantastic skiing by Gordon Skiers at the Scottish Schools Snowsport Association's dry slope championships at Hillend today.  Banchory Academy were represented by Andrew Simpson, Rachel Brown, Hamish Alexander and Kathleen Ray, all Gordon Skiers. Robert Gordons College had Hannah Morrison and Ellie Green who were teamed up with Callum Shepherd and Tommy Cockburn from ASC.  Both teams entered in the Mixed Senior category.

Banchory took a well deserved win.  Andrew had two blistering runs, the first in 29.42 seconds  and as if that wasn't quick enough his second was in the 28.54 seconds.  Rachel Brown was 3rd in the girls overall and in her second run missed out on sub 30 seconds by just 8 hundredths of a second.  Hamish was also in the 30 seconds range with a 30.53 in the second run.

For Robert Gordons, Calum Shepherd had a very fast second run in 30.07, just 1 hundredth faster than Rachel with Hannah not far behind in 34.98 seconds, Tommy in 36.87 seconds despite a colossal slide and recovery and Ellie had her fastest run down Hillend in 42.23 seconds.

There are loads of photos on the Facebook page.
