The North Tahoe boys led by Peter Holmes swept the top four places in the North Tahoe Pursuit this past Friday, while Hannah Halvorsen edged Katrin Larusson in the varsity girls race.Hosted by Tahoe Cross Country, the high school racers skied one lap of classic before switching to skate skis and poles in a transition zone and then skiing one more lap. The Lakers dominated the boys race, with Holmes taking the win ahead of teammates Patrick McElravey, Shane Christian and Dylan Syben. Holmes posted a time of 15:32.19 to McElravey’s 15:34.72. Christian finished in 16:14.97 and Syben in 16:39.75. “The boys had another great day,” said North Tahoe coach Kara LaPoint, adding that the Lakers, as well as much of the varsity boys field, are aiming to peak at Junior Nationals in about a month. “So we should continue to see the level of skiing rise if all goes according to plan. My hope is that the boys will continue to push each other to get stronger and faster so they will be a real force when they get to Junior Nationals and are racing at the national level.”Sam Zabell and Peter Carroll, both of the Sugar Bowl Academy (SBA), finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in 16:54.32 and 17:03.47.
