630 Jim Habek
631 Lezley Johansen
632 Alyson Gamble
Jim
and Lee are the senior members of our team and Jim just has a satisfied
look on his face to be back racing after Covid forced us take a year
off. The only time Jim ever misses a race is when he’s out west
on an ULLR ski trip.
Lezley
has a very happy look on her face to be sharing a beer with the team
after the race. After many years of conscientious hard work and
keeping everything organized for the team, Lesley is retiring as team
captain.
Alyson
was team captain of our Sunday ULLR Foggy Goggle team for many
years. Yet living in Burnsville and driving almost a hundred
miles each way to Wild Mountain finally caught up with her. She
raced for the University of Minnesota-Saint Cloud.
633 Lee Erickson
634 Mary Hall
635 John Kasprick
Lee
is the most senior member of our team going back to when there was an
ULLR race team at Buck on Thursday. You can see he’s well
prepared for the virus.
Mary
has been a member of our team for many years and is a solid silver
medal winner. Her biggest worry is that when her daughter
graduates from college, she might want the GS suit she handed down to
Mom back.
John
is one of the fastest racers on our team and a devoted team
member. Lezley spent two years converting John from drinking beer
to other “stuff”. Then this year, Lezley’s back to drinking beer
and naturally so is John.
636 Scott Froehlk
638 Sue Malecha
Scott
joined our team the year before the pandemic and this is only his
second year of racing. He is an intense competitor and has become
one of the fastest on our team.
Sue
joined our team this year. She is a member of the 3M ski club
with many years of mountain skiing, but absolutely no race
experience. She had never been around a gate or in the start
house. But she learned very quickly and became a solid silver
medal winner.
