We continue the state champion spotlights and now highlight Dana Schwartz of Cape Elilzabeth. Dana won the Class B Slalom at Saddleback Mtn. It was a wild
weather day so we asked her about the conditions and her plans for next year.
1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?I have been ski racing since I was nine years old and always wanted my last year of racing in Maine to be successful. I started training and preparations for the state meet coming off my summer softball season in August with dryland training. I would rollerblade six miles every Sunday and mixed in different courses and agility drills with cones a couple of days a week. I also love weightlifting as a way to get ready for the season and I put in numerous hours at the gym lifting and working on speed and agility. I started training on-snow shortly after Thanksgiving and have spent as many days as possible improving and getting ready for states. In the days leading up, I wasn't able to train gates but I spent time in the gym to make sure I was in shape for the grueling conditions.2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?State Champion Spotlight-Sam Roy

We now will spotlight state champion Sam Roy of Wisdom High School. Sam won the 2022 Class B Giant Slalom at Saddelback Mtn. We asked him about the course
conditions and his goals for the season.
1. What were your preparations leading up to the state meet? I feel like I had two important preparations leading up to States. First of all, skiing as much as I could and I made sure every run that I did I was focused on my skiing technique. My second preparation was making sure my skis were tuned well. I knew it was going to be very icy at Saddleback so I made sure my skis were extra sharp.
2. How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet? I dealt with pressure and emotions by being with my teammates. It is nice to be with teammates because in ski racing all you can think about is the race you are going to be doing. For me when I am with teammates and talking it helps to get your mind off the race.3. What was going through your mind at the start knowing that the snow conditions were challenging?2022 Maine EHSC Alpine Team Skied Well at EHSC

We now begin our state champion spotlights where we interview and highlight the state champions for each discipline in Alpine and Nordic. Each day we will post a new
one. Our first state champion spotlight is Brooke Boone of Yarmouth. Brooke won the 2022 Class B Giant Slalom at Saddelback. We asked her about her state meet preparations and about her favorite memories from the season.
1) What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?Before my races, I make sure to stay hydrated to ensure I will have a lot of energy when I am competing.2) How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?I deal with the pressure and emotions that come along while competing by thinking positively about what could happen.3) What was going through your mind at the start knowing that the snow conditions were challenging?Knowing the difficult snow conditions in the start gate I think about how I am going to have to ski differently based on the snow. Whether I know I need to pressure the downhill ski more or ski more conservatively, I envision myself skiing well through the course and crossing the finish line.
4) What are some of your best memories from ski racing this past season?2022 Maine Nordic Team
