FRYEBURG — When you have had no chance to practice your craft, it is hard to predict what the results will be. Such is the case for local high school ski coaches, who have seen extended dry-land training well into December, with no time on snow as a team.
For veteran Fryeburg Academy cross-country Coach John Weston any predictions for this winter are pure guesses, particularly with huge ski boots to fill from 2019 graduates. All-Stater Alfie Walker leaves a giant hole at the top of the boy's lineup, while Irina Norkin and Zoe Maguire graduated from the ranks of the very successful 2019 girls. Maguire now clicks into her skis for Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
