About SRT
SRT is a founding team of Wijara, a Midwest junior race league that boasts teams from southern Wisconsin, Illinios, Iowa, all the way South to Hidden Valley, in Saint Louis, Missouri. The SRT program is the second largest team within the league. At each Wijara race, SRT has around 80 athletes competing and eight SRT coaches attend the race. Our coaching staff ensures that the team is well organized and supported throughout the weekend.
Wijara competitions: Teams compete in one day of Giant Slalom (GS) on Saturday's and one day of Slalom (SL) on Sundays. The weekend events are fun opportunities for kids and parents alike. In addition to ski racing, the weekend races are a chance to get outside and enjoy winter, make new friends, watch the kids compete, and enjoy a carnival like atmosphere.
