Over the weekend, Clayton Fuller ‘25 and Aston Ferrillo ‘26 competed in their qualifying skier cross competitions. These competitions determined whether they would advance to nationals or not.
They both did a fantastic job and came home with medals. Skier cross works where there is a time trial, and then you pick your spot in the heat. Then, you race against the others in your heat.
Aston ended up getting second place, which places him for nationals. “It was fun, and the weather was nice. I would do it again because I find skier cross to be very enjoyable. There were 97 competitors with only 3 in my heat. I am happy with how I did, as it is one of my first cross events,” said Aston.
Clayton was incredibly happy with his results. He came in first and beat the national champion. This weekend gave him much hope for winning nationals this season and becoming the national champion. His goal for the season is to win nationals, so he is now a few steps closer.
