On Thursday, Jan 29, the nordic team competed in a Lake Conference meet at Theodore Wirth Park. Each team competed in a skate and a classic race.

“I felt very well about my classic race but my skate race could have been better,” said Trey Taylor, senior.

Hopkins finished in 3rd place with 471 points.

While the nordic team feels their season is going well, the varsity team also is proud of their spirit and program. During the Junior Varsity championships last week, the nordic varsity team put on silly outfits and went to go cheer on the Junior Varsity team.
