Six RMN Skiers pre-qualified for the 2007 Junior Olympics while competing at the US National Championships in Houghton, Michigan last week. In order to pre qualify, athletes must be in the top 20 juniors on the overall ranking list at the end of Nationals.
Qualifying from RMN were:

Additionally, several RMD Nordic Combined athletes qualified to compete at XC Junior Olympics and some have expressed an interest in doing so. They are pretty fired up about the prospect of a race trip with GIRLS!
