Nordic Ski Team

The Nordic team finished off a very successful season sending three skiers  Robert S., Arleigh H. and Nathan S. off to OFSSA next week in Huntsville. Clarkson should be extremely proud of Robert S. who won the Senior Boys division and is the ROPSSAA Champion and Arleigh's seventh place finish in the Senior Girls division. Congratulations should be extended to all the skiers--many of them were novices this year, totally new to this sport and each meet incredible improvements were seen.

Amazing results Chargers!  We might be a small school in size but a so very big in talent!
