Additionally, Broden Janczarek earned a spot on “Team Michigan” and will be joining 11 other high school boys from across the state to compete as a team in the Eastern High School Championships in New Hampshire next month.
In the giant slalom, Broden Janczarek also took 1st place, Anders also earned 6th place and Kelly finished 8th place.
