Athlete of the Month – Eli Popkova

Eliska Popkova, more commonly known as Eli, is a second year u14 in our Alpine Age Class team. Eli is a seventh grade student at Summit Middle School. She competes in USSS/RMD ski racing as well as being a member of the Summit Tigers race team. Eli recently won the first GS race at the state championships, helping her Summit Tiger defend their state title. Eli has used her ice skating background to develop great carving skills and balance on her skis. Eli carries herself with a perpetual smile and shows great kindness to others. She is a willing helper and a caring leader. We wish Eli and her teammates success as they travel to Winter Park this week to compete in the Rocky Central u14 Junior Championships in Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom, and Duals.
