Girls Alpine Skiing Places Fourth At MHSAA Regional Meet; Four Qualify For State Final

The MSHS Girls Alpine Ski Team traveled to Crystal Mountain on Monday, 2/13/23, to compete in the 2023 MHSAA Division 1 Regional Meet hosted by Traverse City West High School.  Marquette finished fourth in the team competition out of 11 participating schools.

Although just missing out on team qualification for the Division 1 State Finals that will be held at Schuss Mountain on Monday, 2/27/23, four student-athletes earned their spot in the championship meet as a result of their finishes.

Senior Anna Grzelak had an outstanding day when she was crowned as regional champion in the Slalom and was runner-up in the GS.  Other individual state finals qualifiers from MSHS were sophomore Ava Stern (11th Place GS), sophomore Lucy Stern (18th Place Slalom) and junior Lexi Hammerstrom (19th Place Slalom).
