Victor C Dunder Awards Presented

The Victor C Dunder Award committee (Mike Miller, Chris Torvi and Patti Dunder) would like to announce that the skiers have all been matched up with the shops and acceptance letters have been sent out to coaches and skiers receiving the award. We are proud and humbled by the response of the shops. This year we were able to match a skier from each school that applied (19 skiers in all) with a ski shop willing to sponsor them. This, despite one ski shop dropping out from the program. Please take time to thank these fine shops for their support of the VCD award when you are purchasing from them:

Ski Hut, Continental, Hoigaards, Finn Sisu, Joe's, Revolution Cycle and Ski, Gear West, and Pioneer Midwest.

Thanks to all of the coaches and skiers who applied and support the work of the committee. Finally, thanks to all of you who do such a great job for Nordic Skiing in our state!!
