High School/Middle School
Race Team
Each year, the Middle School and High School race teams travel to races in Marquette, Minocqua (WI), Giants Ridge (MN), Cable (WI) and elsewhere. Organizers typically
divide youth racers into age groups for the competition. Many used
a standarized system developed by the U.S. Ski Association. For
this ski season (2007-08), they are:
J4: 10-11 years
old (born in 1998 or 1999)
J3: 12-13 years old (born in 1996 or 1997)
J2: 14-15 years old (born in 1994 or 1995)
J1: 16-17 years old (born in 1992 or 1993)
