Service skiers Schwartz, Maurer set the pace at the first race of the CIC high school season

Skiers from Service and West duked it out for team honors at the first Cook Inlet Conference cross-country ski race of the season Saturday at Kincaid Park.

The Cougars boasted both of the individual winners in the 5-kilometer freestyle race -- Meredith Schwartz for the girls and Zander Maurer for the boys.

Schwartz beat West’s Quincy Donley by 23.2 seconds, and Maurer beat teammate Aaron Power by 12.1 seconds.

In the team competition, the Service girls triumphed by 38 seconds over West, and the West boys edged Service by 9.1 seconds.

Though Maurer and Power grabbed the top two individual spots for Service, the Eagles prevailed by landing five skiers in the top nine, an effort led by third-place Liam Chisholm, fourth-place Mark Eggener and fifth-place Ethan Eski.
