One by one they took their turn: three skiers from one school, all representing one town at one exclusive event.

Though their ages and ethnicities varied, Goffstown High School’s Julie Clark, a junior; Milos Bohonek, a junior foreign-exchange student from the Czech Republic; and Thomas Joy, a freshman, were the only three Division I skiers to participate in the Eastern High School Alpine Championships (EHSAC).

The three New Boston residents joined 21 other Granite Staters competing at Cranmore Mountain from March 14 to 16. To get there, each had two top-10 runs, in a combination of slalom and giant slalom, at the Meet of Champions at Gunstock on Feb. 21.

To have three skiers reach the EHSAC is unprecedented at Goffstown High School, said coach Elizabeth Moody, who started the team in 1994 when her son Ben was a student at GHS. “I don’t know if it’s anything in particular we’ve done (as a program),” said Moody. “Probably, we’re just lucky having three skiers that came in that have skied quite a lot.”

At Cranmore, Clark finished 16th overall on slalom with a tworun combined time of 1 minute, 49.29 seconds. Her second-run, 52.34 seconds, was ninth best among over 200 starts. On giant slalom, Clark took 56th with an overall time of 2:02.48.

For the boys, the second run was canceled in giant slalom, which gave Joy a 15th-place finish with a one-run time of 51.26 seconds.

On slalom, the freshman earned a 28th-best time of 48.82 seconds in his first run, but faltered on his second attempt and came in 82nd with a combined 2:02.48.

Likewise, Bohonek’s 53.35- second run took 28th among second attempts, but he did not finish the first try.

Clark has been on the GHS team since her freshman year and has reached the Meet of Champions each season. The berth at Eastern Nationals is her first. A National Honors Society student, she has been skiing since she was 3 and has competed since she was 8.

Clark’s father is a diehard skier and coach, so her affinity for the sport is not a stretch. “My dad used to race in college, and my older sister used to race too, so it’s just a family thing,” she said.

In fact, Clark’s sister, Abby, along with Moody’s son, Ben, are the only two Grizzlies to reach Eastern Nationals prior to this year, said the coach “Julie’s just a much stronger skier than most girls her age,” said Moody. “She’s probably got a lot more mileage … She’s just so strong on the slopes.” Clark said her two male teammates really impressed her this season.

“Thomas is very good skier, especially for being so small and young,” she said. “And I think Milos is a really strong kid. He’s done very well for himself coming over from the Czech Republic.” Like Clark, Joy and Bohonek have been skiing nearly their entire lives.

Competing at Pat’s Peak since he was a child, Joy’s transition to the high school circuit was relatively painless.

Moody said Alpine skiing is one of the few sports where a freshman can be just as successful as a senior, though she added that Joy is an exceptional talent. “It’s kind of different being up there (at Cranmore) with all seniors and juniors knowing I’m one of the youngest kids,” said Joy. It’s a lot of fun, just different for me.”

Joy said he trains nearly every day, from first snowfall through the final melt.

Though raised half a world away, Bohonek’s upbringing wasn’t much different.

“My parents and my grandparents spent a lot of time in the mountains,” said Bohonek. “My parents are more climbers, but for some reason they decided to teach me how to ski. I started when I was 3.”

The transition to New England skiing was easy, he said, as conditions are much like those he experienced in the Czech Republic.

During the fall, however, he and his family took several trips to Austria to get an early start on the season.

The difference in countries, he said, is roughly the equivalent of skiing in New Hampshire vs. Colorado.

Bohonek said his home school only has a club program, so the opportunity to compete at the varsity level made the school year in New Hampshire more than worthwhile. The fact he’s met so much success makes it all the better.
