SBA Mobilizes for 3rd Annual Tahoe Lake Century

For the third straight year, Sugar Bowl Academy student-athletes will cycle around Lake Tahoe on May 21st to raise funds for both Sugar Bowl Academy and World Bicycle Relief. For a look back at last year's Tahoe Lake Century, click HERE.

At today's All School Meeting, the older boys' advisory group began mobilizing the campus for the big event, detailing the different legs of the peddle along with the group's fundraising goals. On behalf of Sugar Bowl Academy and World Bicycle Relief, The Fighting Marmot thanks parents and students in advance for their participation in this important, community-building event.

3.2 Miles, Uphill!

Three SBA student-athletes competed in Sunday's annual Billy Dutton Uphill, a fund raiser for Far West Nordic entailing a punishing 3.2 mile ski/run/snowshoe race ascending 2,000 vertical feet from the base of Squaw Valley's KT-22 to High Camp. Full results are available HERE. Many thanks to Paige Derdowski for the photos of Casey Jobe ('16) - first in his class and 14th of 168 racers overall - and Peter Carroll ('15) - second in his class and 24th overall. SBA's Hannah Halvorsen (not pictured) also finished first in her class.

Congratulations on behalf of the entire SBA community to Casey, Peter, and Hannah from The Fighting Marmot.

SBA's Zabell Triumphs in Rotary Speech and Music Comps

The Fighting Marmot today recognizes and congratulates SBA's Sam Zabell ('15), winner of not one but TWO Rotary Club competitions this week. Sam competed in Rotary's speech and music competitions, and his first-place finish at the local level means that he has earned the right to represent Truckee next week at the regional level of competition. Sam's speech was on the topic "Peace through Service." The violin selection he played for the competition came from Carmen Fantasy by Pable de Sarasate. Congratulations, Sam! On behalf of the entire SBA community, The Fighting Marmot wishes you the best of luck in round two!
