Final Update From the 2009 Nationals, Okeeheelee Park, West Palm Beach, Fl.

26 Tennessee Skiers Capture 24 National Medals!

   When the dust settled, Team Tennessee had captured 24 Top Five Medals.                                 There were some amazing performances and also some of the best competitive                                skiing That I have ever seen. Performances are one thing, competition is better.                                The Tennessee skiers seem to step up to compete when others are complaining                             about conditions and other factors that deem the personal bests unobtainable.                          Competition is what it is all about. Tennessee is all about competition!
