Good golly, Miss Molly
Article from Cranbrook Daily Townsman:Kimberley’s Molly Miller isn’t letting a lack of experience slow her down as she takes Canada’s cross-country-skiing scene by storm.
After earning third-place finishes amongst B.C. racers at Canada Winter Games trials in Vernon this past weekend, Miller, a 13-year-old skier and Selkirk Secondary School student, was named to Team B.C.’s entry for the 2015 Canada Winter Games set to be hosted by Prince George, B.C., Feb. 13 to March 1.
“Once you realize you’ve made it and completed your goals, it’s pretty good,” Miller said Monday afternoon. “I just tried to take it all in.”
Miller raced in the senior division (age 23 and under) at the trials in order to qualify for the Canada Winter Games. Taking on national competition as much as 10 years her senior, the Kimberley racer finished ninth overall in the five-kilometre skate and 11th overall in the classic sprint. The performances put her third amongst B.C. athletes in both competitions, paving her way to Team B.C. and the 2015 Canada Winter Games where she will once again face older athletes.
