Qualifying for Junior Olympics

Hey everyone! Its been a long two months but I finally qualified for the JOs! I placed top 4 in evey race, winning 3, and therefore putting me in top seeding in all three events at the Junior Olympics! I'm so excited! This year the race will be taking place in McCall, Idaho (my dad raced there when he was younger :) so I'm thrilled to do my best. The JOs are taking place in mid March, and hopefully we will have good news for Ty Sprock, Julia Bjorkman and me who all qualified in top 15 overall for the DPST. If you win an event at the Junior Olympics, you get to go the Whistler Cup, one of the biggest junior races in the world for our age group!
As most of you probably know, we just got dumped on last week. Diamond Peak has great snow coverage now, and still some powder in the trees! So have an awesome time!!!!!

p.s. In this picture you see my friend Maddi and me with our huge qualifying trophies :)

Hey, this is your fellow DP Blogger and I just wanted to say Congratulations! You are an inspiration to many, including my two young daughters who ski. We'll pray that you come in #1 and you have a safe and amazing experience. Will the event be televised? Blessings! Dawn
