Eastern U16 Championships moved to New Hampshire

January 16, 2022 by Fred Bailey

NENSA is pleased to announce that this year’s Eastern U16 Championships will be held at JacksonXC in Jackson, New Hampshire on March 12th & 13th, 2022.  We are excited to partner with JacksonXC to host this race weekend!  In addition to being one of the largest cross country ski centers in the East, Jackson is an experienced race host.  They regularly host the University of New Hampshire Carnival, have hosted NCAA Championships in 2007, 2017 & 2021 as well as Junior Nationals in 2000.  The NENSA EasternU16 Championships were last hosted by Jackson in 2010. According to Ellen Chandler, the executive director of JacksonXC, “we love hosting races and are thrilled to put on this event!”

Other Event Updates: Due to COVID concerns both of this year’s Eastern U16 & High School Championships have been modified, including relocating U16s to central New England.  Both events have been shortened and will be held on Saturday and Sunday only.  At both events, Saturday will feature a distance race in the afternoon, while on Sunday there will be a sprint in the morning and a relay in the early afternoon.  Both venues are working on plans to offer a meal Saturday night for athletes and coaches, but it will not be the traditional mass gathering.  Awards will take place outside at the end of each day’s events.  Please note that NENSA is requiring proof of vaccination for all participants and coaches at these events.  NENSA recently updated its COVID Guidelines and to be considered fully vaccinated you now must have a booster if eligible.

Maine | Massachusetts | New Hampshire | New York | Vermont

Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out ex Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out exploring, adventuring, and trying new things on their skis! The Telstar Middle School team is doing Bingo together as a team and came up with a new activity where they linked arms in groups of 4 and skied down a hill completing a big turn at the bottom! Maybe we'll have to add that to next year's Bingo card... And check out that exciting backyard jump! 

If you haven't already, you can print your own Bingo card and get playing! For more details and card downloads click see the link in bio. Also, if you've completed Bingo, remember to upload your card (also at the link in bio) before February 1st if you'd like to be included in our next raffle!
