SKIERS COMPETE DESPITE BITTER COLD
 Despite bitter cold temperatures causing the bus to freeze in Glennallen, the VHS Ski Team was able to arrive and compete in one day of the Colony Pursuit in Palmer. The Bucs had six top ten finishes. Due to minus 25-40 degree temperatures, Saturday’s race was cancelled. Sophomore John Snelders earned fifth place out of 49 skiers in the 7K event. Senior Matt Adamson placed ninth in the same race.  Junior Emily Merioles placed eighth in the 5K event. Close on her heels was Senior Hannah Norris with a ninth place finish.
The next cross country ski race for the Buccaneers will be held in Valdez Saturday, February 11^th as the host of the Matsu Borough Championships.
