Letter to editor

Dear Editor:

I want to send out some congratulations to our local cross country ski racers. Amanda Kirkeby of Mammoth High School is the new California-Nevada State Champion for the Open Class! The Mammoth High School JV girls also took home the team trophy with great races from Amanda, Jody Meads, Kylie LaFromboise, and Katherine Janisse. The Open boys consisting of Jack Roten, Nick Damico, Carson Bold, and Philip Oxford swept places 5th-8th earning a 2nd place in league standings. The Mammoth Middle School Boys took 3rd place, the girls 4th. Congratulations to the athletes, their coaches Alana Levin and Robin Morning, and their families for the hard work and support during such a tenuous ski season.

And a special thanks to John Armstrong and the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation for providing essential financial support. Without their generosity, many of the youth athletic programs and scholarship opportunities would not exist.
