No MPA Ski State Meets This Season

Details

Published: Tuesday, 01 December 2020 06:48

The MPA Ski Committee has decided that there will be no MPA ski state meets this upcoming season.  The MPA is not in a position to host a state meet with the pandemic.  The Ski Committee proposes to have an end of season cumulating event hosted by the conferences.  There would be three championships run by the leagues:  MVC/KVAC, SMAA/WMC, and Aroostook.  Each conference will decide when and how to run the conference championships.  The Maine Ski Coaches Association would meet in the spring time to put together an all-state selection based on the conference championships.

The competition season is scheduled to begin on January 11th and the season will end on March 13th.  As race schedules are developed and approved, they will be added to the event calendar on the website.
