The MIAA State Championship race will be at Berkshire East Ski Area on Tuesday, March 5th, with 160 private and public high school racers from throughout Massachusetts participating and looking to medal with a top ten finish.

Two other boys qualified outright for states, Kevin Murphy who had a 17th place finish at the final race and finished the season 12th in the conference, and Matt Carluccio with a 3rd place finish at the final race, ending the season 4th overall for the 2nd year in a row.
