British Schoolgirls Races – Flaine 9th & 10th January

 

Very successful British Schoolgirls Races for LSERSA – Franki & Charlotte Evans won all the individual overall Trophies between them! All 3 prize winners in CH2 were LSERSA (Stephanie Espinosa, Eloise Greenhalgh & Alessia Thomas-Jackson, and Alice Macaulay won all the CH1 trophies. If there had been a trophy for the most crashes Emily Evans would probably have won that, but sadly came away empty handed, and Imogen Taylor likewise had a bit of a nightmare. And if there had been a prize for best avoidance of a wipe out Franki would probably have won that 2 gates from the finish of the slalom, but she still managed 3rd – it was all Sarah Robinson’s fault because she was doing the commentary and had just said “and here comes Franki, going like a train” ! The old commentator’s curse strikes again!! However, Charlotte skied fantastically well and it was brilliant to see her win.

 

LEH (all LSERSA skiers; Franki, Kirsty Dixon & Mollie Dendle) & Surbiton (Eloise, Alice Macaulay & Alice Murphy) won all the School Team Trophies between them (except the separate parallel Slalom competition which was won by Aiglon College), and the overall best team prizes were: 1st LEH, 2nd Surbiton, 3rd Sandown Park (Imogen Taylor, Steph Espinosa & Jojo Carew) so again all LSERSA. Surbiton B (Caroline Croft, Isabel Linacre & Emily Pocock – I think/hope I have that right) won the B Team trophy, very appropriately renamed the Eve Alcott trophy.

 

The results aren’t up yet, but the prize winners are. As with last year the results will no doubt be a bit of a nightmare to wade through because they list the 1st & 2nd runs for the children’s as separate races so it is hard to work out who won what, but hopefully it will all make sense on the prize winners list. I think I have got everyone who is LSERSA, but please check!
