Lakeland Girls Ski Team Update – Alpine Valley Slalom (January 13, 2026)

Strong split result for the Lakeland girls in tonight’s trimeet, with a commanding victory over Hartland and a competitive performance against a formidable Marian squad that we will likely see again in the division finals.

The team raced the same two runs, with placements scored separately in each dual matchup.

- Against Hartland: Lakeland 10 – Hartland 32
- Against Marian: Lakeland 24 – Marian 12

The girls dominated the Hartland matchup, sweeping the top four scoring positions:
Senior Juliana Henry took 1st, junior Tori Jamieson earned 2nd, junior Brighton Leder secured 3rd, and junior Breslin Scott claimed 4th. Junior Gwen Mazzara added excellent depth with 5th place.

In the matchup against Marian, Lakeland pushed a very strong program throughout. Juliana led with 3rd-place points, followed by Tori in 6th-place points, Brighton in 7th-place points, and Breslin in 8th-place points. Gwen contributed a solid 9th-place points, with junior Rachel Rossetti gaining valuable experience deeper in the field.

Special recognition to freshman Hannah Scott and sophomore Addison Rozema, who raced their first varsity slalom. Both posted solid first runs and gained important experience, despite second-run challenges that prevented finishes.

Great energy and teamwork on a tough course tonight. The decisive win over Hartland and the close battle with Marian highlight real progress and competitiveness.

Proud of this group—keep charging, ladies! ⛷️💙

Lakeland Boys Ski Team Update – Alpine Valley Slalom (January 13, 2026)

Tough but encouraging night for the Lakeland boys in a trimeet against two very strong programs: Brother Rice and Hartland.

The team competed in two close dual races using the same runs and times, with placements calculated separately against each opponent.

- Against Brother Rice: Lakeland 22 – Brother Rice 15
- Against Hartland: Lakeland 22 – Hartland 16

Two hard-fought losses, but the margins were narrow and the racing was sharp.

Junior Max Heger had the breakout performance of the season so far, bouncing back strongly from last week. He took the overall win in the Hartland dual (1st place, 49.37 seconds) and earned a solid 3rd in the Brother Rice dual—consistently the fastest racer outside of Rice’s top two.

Senior captain Joe Howie skied with great consistency, posting top-5 finishes in both duals (5th vs. Hartland, 4th vs. Rice). Sophomores Brock Boyd and Logan Henck delivered reliable scoring runs, with Brock taking 6th in both matchups and Logan finishing 10th/9th. Freshman Brian Abercrombie completed both races cleanly, gaining valuable experience with 12th and 10th-place finishes.

The boys showed real competitiveness against two of the top teams in the league. Small margins decided both duals, and the depth and effort were clear. Proud of the way they attacked the course and supported each other.

Shout out to Kyle Bialo who has come a looong way in a short period of time for his efforts.

Onward to the next one—keep building, Eagles! 💪⛷️

A little rain won’t stop Santa & Rudolph and it won’t stop the Lakeland Ski Team either. 🦅

Had an absolute amazing first week at the hill. Great skiing conditions lots of good effort.

Getting ski legs back in shape for a great season.

We’re back! Nice work Alpine Valley getting the place looking pretty good on the first day.

Training on the hill = Fantastic² + Epic Views
vs.
Training at school = Meh + Fluorescent Lights ÷ running around cones

Hill wins every time! 💪
