State Open Skiing -- Warrior boys fourth, girls eighth




Staff Reports

SOUTHINGTON -- It was supposed to be a building year for the Wilton boys ski team.

A very young Wilton girls squad might have been a year away from making a state appearance.

Instead, both Warrior squads skied last week at the 2010 State Open Ski Championship meet with the boys placing fourth overall and the girls placing eighth out of nine teams.

The Wilton boys were the top-finishing Class S school on the day, though.

Mark Roberts was sixth overall and third in Class S with a two-run time of 51.07. Sam Fields was 20th (8th) in 53.32 and John Williams was 37th (14th) in 55.31. Charlie Fields was 43rd overall, Sean Roberts was 45th, Sam Fonseca was 55th, Wyatt Lillie was 74th, and Sam Lambert was 83rd, Jack Phinney and Joe Torg did not finish their second runs.

A total of 125 boys skied in the Open meet.

In the girls meet, Jolie Poirier placed 11th overall and 8th in Class S with a two-run time of 52.13 seconds. Emily Hoffman was 26th (12th Class S) in 55.38 while Frannie Logan and Lally Carmichael were 39th (17th) and 40th (18th), respectively.

Lydia Freliech was 47th, Katie Morgan was 54th, Meghan Collins was 56th, Madison Snyder was 77th and Alyssa Burnzynski was 80th.

Megan Armstrong took a nasty fall on her first run, but was unhurt and completed her second run.

A total of 90 girls took part in the race, which was won by Darien. Wilton bested Weston for the eighth-place spot.
