She schussers: It's All Down Hrll From Here he normal school day does not end at 2:35 for the Girl's Ski Team as it does for normal students. After school each day the six member team prepares to hit the slopes of Mount Brighton. They do this four of the five week days. Each day the girls go through a grueling three hour practice entailing slalom and giant slalom workouts. The dry land exercises, the less popular of the activities involved in being on the ski team, began November 10th and lasted through the day before Christmas vacation. Dry land exercises include running intervals around the track along with weight lifting and more specialized skiing exercises. Considering the fact that Seaholm has only had a boys ski team for three years, the girls skied well and obvious talent stood out. What the team lacked in skill, they made up for in devotion and stamina, practicing several hours each day. Team captains and most skilled skiers this year were Andrea Landau and Mary Krsul. These two girls, the oldest on the team, provided leadership and a helping hand to the younger, less experienced skiers. This year's team was comprised of four freshmen, one junior, and one senior. It was essentially a rebuilding year with two thirds of the team being underclassmen. The team will lose only one member for the next season and possibly gain some new talent with the incoming freshman. They hope to improve their record so the team's fourth year is their best year ever.
