Snow, Sleet, Rain, and Gale Cloquet hosted the 1971-72 State Ski Meet at Pine Valley with a record number of chools en– tering. The Cloquet skiers participated in the jump– ing, cross-country, and slalom competition in the meet as District 26 champions. Gene Schilling placed first in the state showing his outstanding ability in jumping. Mike Sobczak and Ross Johnson also outstanding jumpers attended the Junior National Ski Meet in Vermont placing tenth and thirteenth respectively . The fine jumping season was due to the excellent coaching of ex– Olympicjumper, Joe Nowak. The slalom events were held on the first day of competition at Mont du lac in Duluth. Despite spill taken by the slalom team the Jacks came back the next day through jumping and cross-country to place fourth. All of the slalom members are underclass– men and will be returning as an experienced team. Mike Marciniak and assistant Dave Sylvester coached a young cross-country team this year. All of them will be back next year with the exception of enior Rick Bradford who was unable to ski thi eason because of illness. The 1971-72 ski team was honored on April 14 at a Ski Appreciation Dinner sponsored by the student council. Bubby Johnson presided as rna ter of ceremonies. Those who attended included alumni from fourteen years ago when Joe Nowak first be– came CHS coach. A good team is predicted for next year with only Gene Schilling, Mike Sobczak, and Rick Bradford being lost through graduation.
