Several Madill skiers travelled to Duntroon Highlands on Jan. 13 to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect with sunny skies and fresh snow. Every Madill skier had a fantastic race. Jamie Pollard and Belgrave’s Trevor Raynard completed their first full-length ski races. The senior girls dream team of Erin Yungblut, Emily Yungblut and JulieAnne Staelhi raced for a one, two, three clean sweep of the medals and together with Michele Studhalter of Blyth finished first in the girl’s relay. Ron Groen won senior boys hands-down while in the junior girls Studhalter brought home a silver and Rachel Nivins placed fifth.
