Alaska and Northern Michigan skiers led the way for the CCSA in the distance classic races at U.S. Nationals.
Northern Michigan picked up exactly where they left off last season, as the Wildcats’ Soderman and Frankowski claimed the conference’s top finishes of the men’s 15K and women’s 10K interval start freestyle races at U.S. Nationals at Soldier Hollow.
The snow was quite abrasive and a 30k classic race including climbing up Hermod's Hill 6 times meant that maintaining kick was critical. Green klister covered by Base Green binder offered the best kick and the best glide and was clearly the most durable.
It was an impressive performance by Liz Stephen, who was second fastest up the climb, and jumped from 22nd to 15th for a career best Tour finish.
Torin Koos and Sadie Bjornsen were winners Sunday on day three of the U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships at Soldier Hollow.
The first day of the Junior National Qualifier race at the Boyne Valley Lodge in Walloon Lake is over. The day started with freestyle sprint prelims: a 1km freestyle loop with the top 24 males and females moving on to the elimination rounds.
