FRAMINGHAM – Freshman Andrew Parnell had his best finish in the very last race of the season. He finished 10th in a field of 100 boy racers with a time of 24.58 just 1 second off the leader Baxter Jennings of Marblehead who was the league champion, said Flyers Alpine Ski Coach Roni Sue Bower.
“He was the second fastest freshman of the race. Andrew tore down the course as he went all out,” said Coach Bower. “It was quite impressive.”
On the girl’s side, senior Madi Jones finished 36th with a time of 26.87 and junior Maddie Rieder finished right behind her in 37th place with a time of 26.98, said the Flyers Alpine Ski Coach.
“It was a challenging week for the Flyers as they competed in 3 races,” said Coach Bower. “The first race of the week at Blue HIlls in the icy, deep rutted course was again treacherous.”
Only 58 boys completed the course successfully, out of a field of 98 including our boys.

“Our boys struggled as well due to a lack of experience,” said Coach Bower. “We never practiced at Blue Hills this season and had only raced there once before due to the lack of snow. Six of the 8 boys have never raced before this season so they will improve and gain more experience in the years to come.,”said Flyers Alpine Ski Coach.
“The girls made out a little better as they all completed the course,” said Coach Bower.
Madi Jones finished 29th scoring 20 points for the team and Maddie Rieder finished 32nd scoring 17 points.
“I am so happy with the overall success of our team this year. We are a very young team with only 4 experienced racers. The kids have already improved each race and there is so much potential for us as a team and as individuals in the future,” said Coach Bower. “The team also gets along great and helps and cheers each other on during practices and races. I am so excited moving forward.”
