Andrew Davis competes in a slalom event at Swain Resort during the 2022 season- finished 10th place in the Southern Tier Race League last season, hopes to move up in the standings this season.

From Coach Mary Franklin

Hornell is relatively new to the Southern Tier Race League with small varsity teams.  We’ve been building a program over the last few years to develop racers with the ability to compete with the best skiers in the league.   Look for Andrew Davis to lead the way for the BV Red Raiders with consistent top ten finishes.  He will be supported by the up and coming strengths of Riley Tierney and Matt Robinson.  Reanna Tierney is expected to be a major contender and pave the way for the GV Red Raiders.  With the loss of powerhouse skier Sophie Wilkins to injury, former modified racer, Margaret Hall, and newcomer to racing, sophomore Makena Hasper, will add their talents and round out our team. 

Reanna Tierney descends the headwall during the Section V Giant Slalom race at Hunt Hollow 2022-  Southern Tier Race League  last season, 9th place in Sec V Class B Slalom, 10th place finish Sec V Class B Giant Slalom, expected to be a force in the league this season


The future looks bright as we welcome several new racers to our Modified program this season!  The team consists of racers from both Hornell and Canisteo with hopes to grow more interest in the sport of alpine ski racing in the Southern Tier.  Returning racer, Lara Connors will welcome new teammates Kendal Mullen, Brenna Fridmann, Brynn Mills, Karoline Dinniny, Markus Kerr, Carter Harris, Morgan Hasper, and Nick Randall.

The NY Landquest team are big fans!!!
