   Whereas, throughout the two days of the 2025 Nordic championships, in the Division
I boys’ competition, the Cougars were in command on the trails, both in the opening
freestyle during the first day at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center and on the second day at
the Prospect Mountain Nordic Ski Center in Woodford for the classic skiing, and
   Whereas, in Craftsbury, an MMU boy placed second in the 5k race, and the team
recorded the best overall score for the day, easily surpassing Champlain Valley Union
High School (CVU) 34–85, and
   Whereas, when the teams reassembled at Prospect Mountain, the Cougars placed third
and fifth in the individual results and scored first in the relay, skiing past Mount Anthony
(38:36.1–42:00.4), and MMU captured the team title, outscoring CVU (67–190), and
   Whereas, the Cougars who won the Division I honors were Andres Miguez, Ben
Witters, Brady Morigeau, Colin Hart, Crosby Waite, Derek Hefel, Devin Axelrod,
Farmer Lindemuth, Finn Monahan, Hayden Gilbert, Henry Hoff, Isaiah Bowen, Jack
Connell, Jacob Sayre, Levi McEntee, Liam Buswell, Liam Repp, Logan Axelrod, Luke
Amidon, Matteo Dezon-Gaillard, Macs Wyatt, Roy Powers, Will Hess, and Zell

   Whereas, coaches Wylie Picotte, Al Sartwell, and Eden Shullenberger were all proud
of the Cougar boys, now therefore be it
   Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
  That the General Assembly congratulates the 2025 Mount Mansfield Union High
School Cougars boys’ Division I championship Nordic ski team, and be it further
 Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
