Chris Werrell -- New Head Coach for 2010

  We are excited this year to have Chris Werrell as our Head Coach at the Overlander Ski Club. 

For those of you who haven't heard already, Chris has been working with us since last spring doing dry-land training with the kids.  He will be assisting Darius with the Ski League, helping to teach the kids, setting up training schedules for those wanting to move into the racing stream, running the Ski S'kool for the elementary schools, teaching technique to the coaches, and working with the trails committee to produce a top notch product for the season. 

Chris was born and raised in Burns Lake BC.  He has been involved in Cross Country Skiing for over 15 years.  He has now started to give back to the sport he has so much passion for.  He is 24 years young and in his first year of coaching here in Kamloops.  He has competed at 2 world junior championships and holds BC’s best ever result at a World Junior Championship.  He also has World Cup racing experience.  Aside from coaching Chris has a target of his own; he has his eyes set on qualifying as a member of the Canadian Olympic Ski Team in 2010, which he is currently competing towards.  He is a wealth of knowledge that we can draw from.
