Fourth-year veteran Ian Weir earned two medals as the Varsity Blues Nordic ski team opened their 2013 campaign at the Ontario Cup race at Walden this past weekend.
A native of Stratford, Ont., Weir posted a solid start to the weekend, finishing second overall in the men’s 11km classic race, missing gold by only 2.3 seconds in the 36-minute race.
The kinesiology major then continued his dominance on Sunday, winning the men’s 15km skate to earn the gold medal.
