Summer Events

Huntly Championships 2011

Desipte torrential downpours this year’s rollerski championships went off with fewer hitches than previous years.

A strong contingent came from Cairngorm Biathlon and Nordic Ski Club and we also had representatives from the RAF and the Army.

Cairngorm athletes took 1st and 2nd place in the mens seniors competition with Carl Carrier of the RAF taking third place. Huntly fans will be delighted to hear Posy Musgrave took first Senior Female with Army team members Abi Horner and Emma Cope taking 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Continue reading →

Race Weekend Roundup

Huntly hosted rollerski races on yesterday (28th May) and the Clash hill climb was run today. The weather turned out pretty well for both events with only some light rain at lunchtime on Saturday and a shower on Sunday.

Both events were well attended from Huntly Nordic Ski Club and Cairngorm Biathlon and Nordic Ski Club. Competitors from Higland Nordic and further afield were also welcomed. Duncan Gorman was especially welcome as a novice.

Andrew Young took first place in the men’s competions in both events, with Olwen Thorn and Katy Homyer taking gold in the sprints and hill climb respectively. Katy Homyer is still  under 18 so we look forward to further acheivements from her as she continues to develop her skills.

Club Races 11th September

The Club Championships took place this weekend. The weather started off very wet but dried out through the day. Aberdeenshire council came through with a patch to the track where the river had washed it out last autumn.

Thanks to all those who spent time marshalling and lap counting and cleaning the track. Also thanks to the ski centre and Aberdeenshire Council for hosting the event.

Callum Smith took first place in the Men’s competition and Posy Musgrave took the laurels for the Women.

Clash Hill Climb 2010

Here are some photos from David Horsley of the hill climb. I’m told it was extremely wet. Thanks to the MacLeans for providing the teepee.

Huntly Sprints 2010

The sprints were held today. The despite the damage to the track last Autumn a full program of racing was completed with Novice and Elite Courses and a knock-out. Attendance appeared to be a bit down on last year, but a strong team  from Cairngorm Biathlon And Nordic Ski Club meant there was tough competition. In addition the RAF team was in attendance lead by Steve Perry. The

Club member Andrew Young took first place in the Men’s Elite competition, follwed closely by Alex Standen. Hopefully this is a good sign for Alex’s upcoming Winter season. Cairngorm U16 member Calumn Irvine took third place, marking him as someone to keep an eye on in future.

With Sarah Young competing in the men’s competition, Highland Nordic’s Katy Homyer took the laurels in the Women’s competition. Unfortunately Catriona Dudgeon took a nasty fall in the 500m time trial which knocked her out of the day’s competition. Full results below
