High School Cross Country Skiing

Michigan's got it. Minnesota's got it. Wisconsin's got it. Why can't we at least have high school XC skiing at a bare-minimum level in Illinois? I realize those other states have much more snow, but when we get it, we know how to use it. My goal is to have a low-key high school division at the Northern Illinois Nordic on Saturday, Jan. 22. If you know any high school athlete who wants to compete on skis at any level, please leave a comment or e-mail me directly at bobnanrun@sbcglobal.net.
