We now spotlight senior Devon Lathrop of Cape Elizabeth. He was the 2019 Class B Giant Slalom state champion and his team won the Class B devon lathrop cape class b gs champAlpine title.  We asked him about his season and what it is like having two brothers on the team.

  1. What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?

Honestly, my preparations for states was to learn how to ski again and get my confidence back. I was out last season with a torn ACL, I had to work hard to get back up to speed. It was frustrating and took a lot longer then I anticipated.

  1. How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?

There wasn’t a ton of pressure at the state meet. I had no expectations of winning, my goal was to get top 3 and have fun. The pressure came when I was in first place after the first run in giant slalom and knew I needed to send it in order to keep my gold medal.

  1. What was going through your mind at the starting gate in the pursuit knowing that you could win?

We next spotlight junior Carter McPhedran of Maranacook.  He was the 2019 Class B classical state champion and his team won the Class B Nordic Cartertitle.  We asked him about his preparations and his goals for his senior year.

1) I did a lot of physical preparation; trying to improve my technique and endurance. I skied as much as I could at every practice to build my endurance. But the most important preparation I made was mental. I had to improve my attitude towards my performance in order to go into the state meet ready to give it my all. 
 
2) The mental preparations that I made allowed me to come into the state meet feeling very little pressure. I knew that whatever result that I got was good as long as I left everything out on the trail. 
 
3) I was definitely a little bit nervous at the start of the pursuit but knowing that two teammates were behind me gave me some confidence. I knew that if people were going to be passing me, it would have been my teammates which took away some of the nerves.

We next spotlight junior Killian Lathrop of Cape Elizabeth High School.  He was the 2019 Class B Slalom state champion and his team won the Class BKillian Alpine title.  We asked him about his season and his favorite moment.

1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet? Preparing for the state meet was no different than any other race. I trained up at Sugarloaf with my CVA weekend program team the day before, then just tried eat well and hydrate, and the day of the race I just stretched before my run and did some free ski laps.

2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet? I just tried to forget about what I was doing and just fool around and hang with my friends and go for some free ski runs. Then just show up to my run stretch a little then get in the gate.

3) What was going through your mind at the starting gate in the pursuit knowing that you could win?

We now highlight senior Luke Bartol of Maranacook.  Luke was the 2019 Class B freestyle state champion and his team won the state title.  We asked lukehim about the success and what he likes most about Nordic skiing.

1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?
Leading up to states, I was working on getting back in the groove of skiing after a rough start to the season, going for easy skis, eating carrots, stretching. The mental preparations were important too, trying to get back on the horse and believe I had what it took to win.
 
2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?
 It was crazy having my last states in the same place as my first, kind of felt like a full circle, so there were a lot of emotions involved. I had been on the podium for the last two years, but never had been on top like all the guys I looked up to had, so I really felt like I had to get there. With the earlier races to going very well for me, I also felt very nervous about having the ability to do it, which took a bit to get over.

1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet? I prepared just like any other competition. I continued to take good care of my body and made sure I was well rested!

2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet? I try to forget about results and just focus on how hard I can/will push myself. It was my last state meet so spending time with the team and keeping things light helped me to put things into perspective and not feel so much pressure.
