Ontario Cup #4 Duntroon March 2-4, 2012 2012 Ontario Cup #4 The Soo Finnish Nordic Senior Race Team spent an exciting weekend in Duntroon, Mar 2-4, 2012, for the final races of the Ontario Cup circuit for this season. Saturday's sprint races were especially memorable as the athletes skied on trails that had been rained on all night long and then strong winds turned the entire course to ice. By the time the athletes skied their heats, they were faced with 90km winds and heavy snow. In these very tough conditions, 5 Soo Finnish skiers advanced to the finals with Juvenile girl, Erika Mihell, coming 1st in the B Final, and Midget boys, Josiah Reinke and Adam Baggs 4th and 5th in the A final, and Sebastien Gingras and Matteo Reich 4th and 6th in the B final. On Sunday the winds died down and Josiah Reinke captured a bronze medal in the 5km Classic.
