Hodag Nordic battles attrition at WNSL state meet
A number of skiers were forced to miss one day, or the entire two-day event all together, due to illness. The Hodags were hindered in the team standings as a result. The Hodag boys were the last of 12 qualifying teams in the event while the Hodag girls were knocked down to two skiers for Sunday’s finale and were unable to register a team score.
