The Detroit Lakes Nordic ski teams in grades 6-9 took part in the Regional Junior High Championships in Brainerd Feb. 4.
The Lakers had several good performances by their skiers in the 4K classic and 4K skate races. The kids were competing against their own grades, as well as against other grades.
"This gave the kids a chance to see how they stack up against the kids they will be competing against through high school," said DL head Nordic ski coach Dan Josephson.
DL had a first-place finish in both the boys' sixth grade event, from Jake Richards, and in the seventh grade race from Dylan Ramstad-Skoyles.
The Laker varsity team wrapped up its season last Wednesday.
