The Hodag Nordic middle school teams competed in the Snekkevik Races in Wausau Saturday, Jan. 7. The Hodag girls' team placed third out of nine complete squads while the Hodag boys were ninth in a 10-team field.

A trio of eighth graders led the way for the Hodag girls. Lucy Eddy was 10th overall, covering the roughly 3-kilometer classic course in 13 minutes, 11.6 seconds. Mya Gillen was 13th (13:35.9) and Kali Skubal finished 19th (14:19.5). Fifth grader Kelsie Skubal was 51st (17:19.7) and sixth grader Noelle Mayo was 54th (17:54.0).

"It would be hard to ignore Lucy Eddy getting a top-10 finish on the middle school girls' team," coach Dave Slette said. "We're talking about a very, very strong athlete, whose skin just gets better every year. She brings such a great attitude, it's nice to see her get some success out there."

Seventh grader Aaron Calhoun paced the middle school boys, taking 20th overall with a time of 12:47.9. Eighth grader Jonathan Calhoun was 22nd (13:04.1) followed by seventh grader Austen Slette in 24th (13:18.9), seventh grader Douglas Hartmann in 34th (14:42.8) and sixth grader Samuel Loomis in 52nd (16:21.4).

"Aaron Calhoun really put his motor out on the course today and double poled most of the course to great effect," coach Slette noted.
