THE COACH'S CORNER
Posted 2/27/25
Ski racing is an exhilarating journey filled with both triumphs and challenges. We should celebrate our accomplishments and the unforgettable season we've had together.
This season has been extraordinary, even with the challenges we faced at States, where the girls proudly secured 5th place overall and earned the title of Small Public School Champion. Meanwhile, the Sparta Varsity Boys finished strong in 6th place overall.
Although the teams didn't reach the podium at States, the outstanding performances of the Sparta Boys and Girls Ski Teams throughout the season deserve recognition. Their passion and determination have been evident in every race, and they have truly set a high standard for excellence in high school alpine racing. Congratulations to our varsity athletes for their great effort in pursuit of the championship podium.
Congratulations to our JV girls ski team for capturing podium 3rd at the JV State Championships.
