Congratulations Vanessa Berther

 

Vanessa Berther is a 10th grade student at skyline. She is also a serious downhill skier.

Vanessa has been racing for Team Alpental Snoqualmie (TAS) since she was 7 years old, and this year she was selected to be part of the elite Western Region Team of the USA. Vanessa is one of the youngest of the Western team.

Early in March, Vanessa qualified and participated on the JII National Junior Olympics for 16-17 years old skiers. Vanessa came with an outstanding 5th place (after starting 30th) in the GS discipline. An amazing result!

Last week, Vanessa raced for the Championships of the West (age 16 years old and up). It is a great honor and pleasure to announce that Vanessa is the OVERALL WINNER - GOLD MEDALIST of the Western Region Championships; 1st place in GS, 2nd place in SL, and 9th place in SG.

Congrats Vanessa for an outstanding performance!
