Bachelor on Friday, January 10, and walked off the slopes with a fourth-place finish. Hollie Lewis was the Outlaws9 leading racer and finished 20th with a com- bined time of 2:43.93, and Sydney Wilkins and Skylar Wilkins were close behind with 23rd (2;49.75) and 24th (2:50.31) respective fin- ishes. Piper Adelt was doing a beautiful job on her first run, but missed a gate and was disqualified. Piper had a great second run with a time of 1:29.85. <This is a big break- through for the Sisters girls,= said Coach Gabe Chladek. <The girls all skied aggres- sively and did a great job, especially considering the very little on-the-hill training we9ve been able to get due to the slow start to this winter.= The boys were scheduled to race on Saturday, January 11, but the race was can- celed due to winter storm conditions. Their race will be rescheduled later in the season. Next up for both the girls and boys is a slalom race at Mt. Bachelor on Saturday, January 18. Have a story idea for The Nugget?
