Today is our first state champion spotlight. We are interviewing every state champion in Alpine and Nordic for each discipline. The first spotlight is Logan Schwartz of Cape Elizabeth. He was the 2023 Class B Slalom and Giant Slalom state champion. We asked him about his state meet preparations and his plans for next year.

1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet? My preparations leading up to the state meet started over the summer by regularly going to the gym to do strength and conditioning training. Then when the 102 sl

season began, I started to focus on fixing every small detail during training and race runs. I also made sure not to over-train so that I would not burn out before states.
2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet? Being stressed from pressure was not something that I had to deal with too much as I was very busy trying to understand the new race hills that I had never seen before. That being said, I still felt pressure since I was racing new people.
3) What was going through your mind at the starting gate?
