State Meet
February 15, 2002
Hopkins used a combination of fast skis and fast skiers to
dominate the Minnesota State Meet at Giants Ridge on Friday.
The race of the day was hammered out by Courtney Dauwalter,
who started eighth in the pursuit, nearly 30 seconds back,
and rocketed to the only sub-14 minute time to take the overall
pursuit title, as well as the freestyle title. Hopkins girls
placed three skiers in the top five freestyle to help secure
the overall team title. Garrott Kuzzy, ranked #1 all season,
swept the boys titles, as Hopkins won the boys title. Full
results linked in now, 150 photos from the classic race, over
130 from the freestyle race, plus photosets from Dave Johnson
and Carl Jarvi.

Results
February 10, 2002
In what must have been one whale of a race, Madison West's
Ben Cline and Hayward's Donvan Dums battled for the boys overall
pursuit title. In the freestyle race, Cline edged Dums by
1 second, and then bumped up that lead with a 6 second victory
in the classical race. (Flashback: two years ago, Ben Cline
was our first receipt of the Most Improved High School Skier
of the Year.) Maria Stuber of Waukeska West won the girls
overall title. Team titles went out to the Haywards boys,
and Lakeland Girls -- both teams winning by wide margins.
Full results linked in now.
Sections Coverage

Section 7: In the closest battle so far in Sections,
the Duluth East and Ely girls came right down to the end,

team. Duluth East boys had a much easier time winning the
team title, as Duluth East's Bjorn Batdorf used a dominating
classic leg to take the overall title. Full results online
now, along with photos from Mark Boyce and Carl Jarvi.
Section 4: St. Cloud Cathedral and Wayzata boys had
an extremely close race for the team title, with St. Cloud
Cathedral winning by only 7 points. Nichole Olson put together

Section 8: The Grand Rapids boys proved they're ready
to challenge for the state title, sweeping the top four spots
in both races to notch a "perfect" score in the team competition.
Not to be out done, the Grand Rapids girls nearly matched
the boys output, missing just one point (in the freestyle
race) on the way to take the girls title. Full results, plus
a large photoset from Jay Richards, online now.
Section 6: It was all Hopkins in the Section 6 championships
as the #1 ranked boys and girls team cruised to the overall
titles. Garrott Kuzzy showed he'll be the easy favorite for
the state title, edging out teammate Dan Skold (#2 ranked)
over 40 seconds for the pursuit title. Courtney Dauwalter
also appears to be ready to challenge for the state title,
using a superior classic leg to win the overall title by almost
a minute. Full results online now.
Section 5: St. Louis Park and Armstrong girls had a
close duel for the team title, with Armstrong coming out on
top by just 9 points. The St. Louis Park team, composed of
a number of young skiers (including 8th and 9th grade skiers),
put in a strong performance in taking the boys team title.
Full results online now.

overtake Doug Stafki (Forest Lake) to win the pursuit boys

and freestyle races to easily take the pursuit title. Hastings
won both team titles. Full results online now.
