Cross Country Headquarters Ski Team Brings the Michigan Cup Back Home

By Linda Thielfoldt and Bob Frye

Well it was a long road this shortened season but the Cross Country Ski Headquarters Ski Team brought the Michigan Cup back home on Saturday at the Michigan Cup Series Relay Race held at XCSH in Roscommon MI.

There were 50 teams for the relay races made up of skiers from all over Michigan and Ohio and each team had a Classic Skier (diagonal stride) and two Skate (or Freestyle) skiers. The race started with the Classic skier and then they tagged off to the next skier on their individual relay team.

Cross Country Ski Headquarters (Roscommon, MI) had 19 Relay teams and it was the efforts of all the relay teams that brought home the cup. The youngest skier on the CCSH team was Kyle Roberts 7, from Lake City, MI, and the oldest was Jack Caldwell, 72, from Ann Arbor.

The Michigan Cup is won by the “team” that amasses the most points during the season and it was a very close finish. To quote XCSH Team Captain Frank Rynalski 52, Bay City; “The best thing about winning the cup was that we did it as a team.”

Says Mr. XCSH, Bob Frye, “Thanks to all 50 teams who turned out for one of the largest Michigan Cup Relays ever. Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped make the day a great memory. Thanks to Frank Rynalski and his fellow team members for their endless work, organizing, recruiting and leading the Cross Country Ski Headquarters Team not only to a victory at the Relays but also to the 2007 Michigan Cup Championship ! Way to go team! You won it in 2004 and now you have bought the Michigan Cup back home!”

The Relays - always a festive race - were made more festive by the bright tents and banners set up by Fischer and Salomon featuring demo skis. The awards lunch was held under bright skies and featured Kogel Viennas, subs, veggies, chips, cookies and green lemonade

Fifty teams competed under sunny skies and very fast skiing conditions at the Cross Country Ski Headquarters in Higgins Lake. Temperatures were in the mid-20s and conditions were power-tilled icy powder over hard pack and ice.

Relay teams were composed of three skiers. The first leg raced two laps around the Rolling Hills Trail using classic technique. Legs 2 and 3 skied freestyle and raced three laps each.
