Nordic Skiing: (Coach Mel Koontz & Coach Timi Miner)
Lynx Loppet
December 9, 2017
The Valdez Buccaneers Nordic Ski Team made the harrowing drive Anchorage on Friday. We missed the 5k classic race on Friday due to the road closure. Tolganai Nasipbekova stayed behind to take the ACT this weekend. Kincaid had hard, packed snow. All skiers were thankful for their snowmaking capabilities, allowing the race to happen. Skiers did an amazing job in the freestyle race, especially considering the lack of time on skis so far this season. Ben Swanson competed in the A group, finishing with an impressive time of 15:43. Josten Carlson and Rowan Miller both raced in the B group and also had strong finishes. Josten finished in 17:44 and Rowen finished in 24:42. Saturday’s race starts depended on Friday’s times and were at staggered intervals. Valdez skiers were placed at the back of the pack because of our absence on Friday. All Buccaneers made gains during the race and no finished last despite being the last to start. We have a very determined group of athletes that work hard and show their commitment come race day.
Open ski for 8th – 12th graders, all levels are welcomed to ski from 3:30 – 5:00 Mondays and Tuesdays. Limited supplies of ski, boots and poles are available.
Race totals:
| Place | Name | Time | Distance |
| Rowan Miller | 24:42 | 5 km | |
| Ben Swanson | 15:43 | 5 km | |
| Josten Carlson | 17:44 | 5 km | |
| Tolgonai | NA | NA |

GMS Second Quarter Super Huskies
Olivia – 6th grade
Olivia was selected by GMS staff as a Super Husky because of her leadership qualities. She humbly exudes confidence, is self-motivated, responsible, and friendly to all. Olivia takes her learning seriously and always submits top-quality work. She has a sense of civic duty and is a mover and shaker in student government. Olivia generously gives of her time and volunteers often, helping her classmates and school experience success. –Mrs. Keller
Ginger – 7th grade
I nominated Ginger Keller for the Super Husky Award because of her tireless effort in my Language Arts and Social Studies classes. Ginger consistently comes to class prepared and is never late with assignments. I believe she works hard at studying her spelling words and geography facts outside of class. During class, Ginger’s behavior is exemplary. Good job, Ginger. Keep up the good work! –Mr. Norris
Marshall – 8th grade
Marshall was nominated because he is a pleasant young man that always puts a smile on your face. He works well with others, is helpful towards his peers and does whatever it takes to create a positive atmosphere that staff and students enjoy. Marshall is also meticulous in the academic arena alway striving for excellence. He truly exemplifies the best of which GMS strives to create in its students! –Mr. Huston
