I really liked this piece! I think it’s really awesome to learn about how teams at our school are doing, especially those who you don’t really hear about as much. Good luck on the rest of your season!

It’s great to see the WHS Ski Team getting some press. They have put in a lot of hard work over the past few weeks (on and off the snow) and it’s amazing to see all that practice pay off. Looking forward to the next race!
