The varsity girls and boys teams finished third overall in the team standings behind Soldotna and Palmer while the junior varsity teams placed skiers in the top three positions in both girls' and boys' races.
"Homer was a total presence at regions, with over 35 racers competing," said Assistant Coach Megan Corazza, adding, "Everyone skied hard, knowing they were not only competing for themselves and team place, but also for a chance to go to the state competition this weekend."
