Sisters' star skier out for season

Sisters' standout downhill skier Liz Dale injured her knee in a training session last Thursday and is out for the season.

"She's looking at knee surgery this week and several months of rehab," said Coach Todd Williver.

That loss cast a pall over an otherwise successful week for the Lady Outlaws ski team, which skied to second place in a double header race on Saturday, securing a state bid.

The Summit High School team left the door open with several errors in the first race that left them without a team score. In the second race the girls again managed to beat the Summit girls to finish second overall.

The Outlaw boys skied well in both races, skiing to a third place finish in the first race and a second place finish in the second race as Summit's boys failed to finish enough skiers to make a team time.

"Statisically the boys are not out of a state bid, but it's a long shot," Williver said.

Nick Anthony continues to "up his game," Williver reported, skiing for a personal best for the second week in a row. Michael Cristiano and Lucas Rietmann contributed two solid runs.
