Junior Autumn Daigle took first place for the varsity girls, finishing the snowy 4.2 kilometer course in 15 minutes, 41 seconds.
Kenai’s Maria Salzetti took second with a time of 16:07, and Homer’s Katia Holmes took third place in 16:46.
Homer’s Zoe Stonorov finished with a time of 17:14, and Brita Restad in 18:03.
Andy Super, the only boys varsity member skiing at the event, finished with a time of 16:24.
Junior varsity skiers started at the same time as varsity skiers, but tackled a shorter 2.7K course. For the JV girls, Homer’s Sienna Carey took first with a time of 10:02. Kara Super finished in 11:37.
