On a cold windy day north of Harbor Springs, MI, Kaleb McNamara, qualified for the State Championship Ski meet for the Slalom event. Kaleb said that he did okay at the Giant Slalom, but his times were a bit slow. He placed 11th (not bad dude) out of 90 skiers.
However, the Slalom was another matter. He was one of the faster skiers that could stay upright while going through the challenging course.
"Yeah, the terrain kept changing. One turn you go up, the next down," Kaleb said after his first run.
Check out the videos of his slalom runs, below.
The second run was different, but none the less challenging as the whole group of skiers were about 2-3 seconds slower on their second runs. He ended up 6th overall qualifying as an individual.
Way to go!

Dear and Gentle Reader,
What good and wonderous news!
Since I last had the pleasure of visiting ye, I have had many thoughts upon ye and your work in this, our online community. Keep hold the faith and continue to run the race! We will praise God for what he has done through your ministry and I cherish your willing spirit, compassion and weather forecasting skills.
Who knows but it may please God to make ye an instrument in His glorious work? In effecting an union among the labourers in His vineyard? That He may direct and bless you in all your steps is the prayer of my heart.
Your affectionate and obedient servant,
JW
