Two all-staters from Ely

Ely’s Nordic Wolves not only placed third in the state, but they had a couple of skiers who were recognized individually at the state level.

Based on their performance at the state meet, junior Aksel Skustad and sophomore Wyatt Devine were both named to the all-state team, as picked by the state’s coaches association.

Skustad, a repeat honoree, placed 15th individually at the state meet while Devine gained all-state acclaim by taking 19th overall and coming in as the highest-finishing sophomore in all of Minnesota.
