State Trails Kind to Laker Skiers (DL Paper)
Minnesota State Meet Coverage (From Skinnyski.com, also thanks for the great pictures!)
February 11, 2010
Bright sunshine and calm winds warmed things up quickly on Thursday morning for the Minnesota State Meet. Racing action opened with the individual start skate races on the hilly Silver trail. Cloquet's Raleigh Goessling took off flying, starting in a position just behind all the favorites and hammered to a 4 second lead over Apple Valley's Andy Dodds. Jessie Diggins
appeared to be on top form as she moved to the front of the girls field in strong fashion. In the afternoon, it was all Goessling in the boys pursuit as he broke away from the field to win with a healthy margin. The girls pursuit turned into one of the most exciting races of the past five years. After spotting Jessie Diggins a roughly 15 second head-start, Annie Hart chased down Diggins and eventually took the lead. The duo roared into the stadium and down to the finish with Diggins coming from behind in the final meters to pull out the win. The Ely boys team pulled off the surprising upset to win the state title (first in 40 years) by 8 points over Forest Lake. The Stillwater girls took home yet another state title with second place going to Wayzata by 1 point over Ely. Full results plus photosets now online.
