Last week I competed in the Sun Cup held at Mt. Bachelor, OR. It was a speed series that included 2 Super G's and 2 Downhills. There was heavy snowfall for both the Super G's so running early was a pretty large disadvantage. I placed 5th in the first Super G and 1st in the second Super G! I was surprised by the win because I started second for that run, but I'll take it! The win scored me a USSA result of 62 points!! The downhill was very fun, and I placed 3rd and 5th, which lowered my points as well. I was second overall for the entire series (just barely out of first!).
In other news, I just got back from the Oregon State Championships for high school racing which ended yesterday. There were a lot of FIS/USSA racers there which made for some awesome competition! I was racing for my awesome high school of West Linn. I won both runs of the slalom which gave me the slalom victory. In GS, I was in 3rd after a very sloppy first run (0.5 seconds out of first) and on my second run I hooked my arm in gate and came to a complete stop. Unlucky, but I still managed to get 4th for GS! Pretty good for running 29th on very soft snow. Thanks to my large lead in slalom, I won state overall! My teammate McKenzie Burns won the overall for girls as well. West Linn Boys won the GS, SL, and Team overall, and West Linn got 3rd for the entire competition. Pretty awesome!!
I have Western Region Championships at Bogus Basin, ID on Tuesday the 8th, and I'm very excited to race there because the mountain is awesome!
Well that's all for now folks, hope you all are having as much fun this season as I am! See ya next time!
