February 1, 2010
As many of you may have known, the Winter X Games were on this weekend. The event is a tradition of mine as I'll watch as much of the events as I can.
Now we're just 12 days away from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, which I assure you we will cover.
Many olympians participated in the X Games event this past weekend. Athletes such as Shaun White, Gretchin Bleiler, Kelly Clark, Nate Holland, and Hannah Teter.
Of the events won at the X Games, the most notable were Shaun White's third straight gold medal win, or 'three-peat' on the superpipe, Snocross racer Tucker Hibbert's four-peat win, and Nate Holland's five-peat win in snowboard x.
Of the more amazing feats done at Winter X, in Snowmobile Best Trick newcomer Caleb Moore, who qualified along with his brother, was really packing some competition for the other snowmobilers. Why's this so amazing? The first time he got on a snowmobile was December 28. DECEMBER 28, 2009! And he's already doing backflips and tricks that people that have been riding snowmobiles for years would never even think of.
New tricks were also done for the first time, such as Heath Frisby's Tsunami flip, and 18 year old freeskier newcomer Bobby Brown's win in Skiing Big Air.
Videos are available for viewing on ESPN's Action Sports website here.
X Games results are also available for viewing here.
Now we have a little less than two weeks to go until the Vancouver Olympics!

Start of Winter Wimp |
WHO’S A WIMP?
By Zak Godfrey
On a cold windy day on January 9th 2010, we participated in Winter Wimp Races. There were 2 races, the 2.2 miler and a 4.4 miler. Many people showed up to run. Sixty seven people ran the 2.2 miler, Zak Godfrey was a top finisher for Fonda, finishing 2nd with a time of 13:05. Matt Hoffman finished 8th in the race with a time of 14:08. Kimberly Geniti finished 11th overall with a time of 15:29, Kim was the first girl to finish the Winter Wimp. She was also the only girl from Fonda school to run the race.
In the 4.4 miler, there were 142 people to run this race, including Kyle Geniti and Cody Shave from Fonda. Kyle finished 20th overall with a time of 29:54. Cody Shave finished right behind him in 21st place, Shave’s final time was 29:56.
After the races, there was an award ceremony for the people who won medals and plaques. Zak Godfrey and Kim Geniti were given 2nd and 1st place plaques for the races. Not only was there an award ceremony for the race, there was also an award ceremony for the cross country teams from Montgomery and Fulton Counties. On the boys’ side, Godfrey was the outstanding runner from Cross Country and was handed a certificate. On the girls’ side, Kim Geniti was also handed a certificate for the best runner for the Fonda girls. The whole Fonda boys team were called up for making it to states, and the team was awarded a certificate for making it to Plattsburgh for the State meet. The boys who were included in this were: Zak Godfrey, Cody Shave, Mike Scott, Matt Hoffman, Ian Chapin, and Cody Russell.
While talking to Coach Therrien had this to say: “This year our teams (boys and girls) worked very hard to achieve what they have. I’m happy they got the credit they deserve for their hard work and dedication”.
