SPECIAL FEATURE
Celiac Hits the Slopes!!
By Nancy Ginter
NFCA  Director of Operations

All of us at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) are extremely proud of A. J. Clemens who represented NFCA in the Pennsylvania State Championships, a competition for skiers across the state.

A. J. was one of 10 young men on the Pennsylvania State Ski Team who competed in the Eastern J3 Division Racing Finals, held at Gore Mountain, New York, March 1-4, 2007. The competition included 88 young men, J3 ski racers from New England, the Middle Atlantic States and Southern States.  After the first run, A. J. place 34th in the Super G, clocking in at speeds over 50 mph.  On Saturday, March 3, 2007, A. J. placed 20th in the Eastern Division in the Men’s Giant Slalom.  On the final day, A. J. Placed 23rd overall in the Men’s Slalom Official Results on March 4, 2007.

This is a fabulous showing for A. J. and a true inspiration to young celiac athletes. Congratulations! For the final event of the season, A. J. competed in the Sno Mountain Combined Challenge in Scranton, PA on March 11-12.  He had a fabulous run finishing first in the Giant Slalom and second in the Slalom. The result:  A. J. became the overall first place winner of the 2007 Sno Mountain Combined Challenge! Another big congratulations!

The competitive ski season is over for 2007 but we look forward to another great year for A. J. in 2008.  In the meantime, we will be cheering for him on the baseball diamond in Radnor.
