Merritt’s Wade Kanigan, 11, was a two-time winner at the BC Cup cross-country ski races held at Stake Lake on the weekend.
Competing in the peewee boys’ division, Kanigan placed first in the 1.5 kilometre classic race with a time of six minutes and 53 seconds, and first in the 1.5 kilometre free (skate ski) race in a time of five minutes and 33 seconds.
Conditions were excellent at the Stake Lake facility which is located midway between Merritt and Kamloops at the Lac Le Jeune turnoff. Over 350 competitors took part in this year’s BC Cup event.
