Lily Murnane
is currently in Australia, training with the Victorian Ski Team and coach Iris Pesseytte. Daughter of Kevin and Valli Murnane, Lily is a citizen of both the USA and Australia, which allows her the opportunity to attempt to qualify for the prestigious spot on the Australian National Junior Nordic Team.
Lily's race results so far this summer:
3rd place - Ws U-20 Sprint Free Technique
1st place - 5km Ws U-18 Victorian Jr. Ski Distance Championship
2nd place - W's U20/U18 Women's Skate Sprint
10th place - AUS 10km Ws Freestyle

Lily hopes to earn her spot on the Australian National Junior Nordic Team by continuing to finish well throughout the remainder of the Australian ski season
. She is also eligible to try and qualify for a coveted spot on the Australian National Junior World Team and the 2020 Australian Youth Olympic Team.
We are proud that Lily began as a Tahoe XC Strider Glider, trained with the Tahoe XC Devo Team, skied for North Tahoe Middle and High School Nordic Teams, and now trains year-round with Auburn Ski Club and the Victorian Ski Team.
