East Longmeadow finished first in the division with three skiers placing in the top 10, extending their lead in the standings to two points.
“All our boys again skied great,” St. Mary ski coach Andy Lussier said. “While a broken gate impaired Matt’s run a bit, he held on for a top five finish. These things happen in slalom. It is a ‘full contact sport.’”
Nate Bonini extended his run of consistency with top 15 finishes.
“He is making some big strides in his skiing and it is showing in his results,” coach Lussier said of his Saint.
St. Mary girls’ skier Chloe Lussier had another good night on the Giant Slalom course, finishing 11th overall (6th division).
