On the Podium

Gold and Bronze for Lena and Sammi, Sophie and Carissa rounded out the top ten in 4th and 7th!

Last week I had a chance to visit Burke. This fun photo is from the U14 panel slalom.  The kids skied great, and Burkies reached the podium on a lot of levels that week.  Here are a few examples. That U14 race was the only race not cancelled in Vermont, and the U16 race the next weekend had over 200 racers. The whole community gets on the podium for putting on those events. With the training hill up and running, we enjoyed some home cooking and BMA athletes also stood on the podium at Cochran’s, Stowe, Sugarbush and Stratton. Back in school, the kids rocked the dining hall with a slam poetry contest and impressed the trustees with their passion and care for the school. We even got to the bottom of some missing cookie dough.  Reaching for the podium happens in a lot of ways.  -Jory
