“For Telemark to earn many medals on the national stage this year. The best part is that these
medals were earned by Seven different Telemark skiers,” said Adam Elliot, Team Telemark Head
Coach. “We earned 7th place in the club championship with only 9 skiers! The team’s results from Nationals are the culmination of years of hard work, devoted volunteer
coaches and a cohesive team spirit that paid off at the National Championship.”
