Season kicks into high gear with first away race of the season

The SVSEF U14 IMD Alpine Team had its first away race of the season Jan. 10-12 at Snow King, WY. Alpine U14 ski racing athletes from across the Intermountain Division competed in one GS and two SL races and at the end of three days of racing, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s U14 IMD team brought home one podium for the girls and four for the boys.

“It was a memorable first weekend of racing to kick off the U14 IMD Season!” said Charlotte Gourlay, SVSEF Alpine U14 IMD Head Coach. “We had a ton of great results and lots of kids stepping up their game in a whole new circuit. It is often challenging to step into that first start gate of the year, but all of the athletes charged through their nerves and will be even more prepared for their next race series. Big congratulations to all the athletes over the weekend.”

In Friday’s GS for the girls, Savannah Pringle was the top SVSEF athlete with an eighth place, and Henry Questad and Cam Beck both landed on the podium in third and fourth respectively for the boys.

In Saturday’s SL race, Savannah Pringle was on the podium placing fifth and Henry Questad brought home the bronze.

In Sunday’s SL race, Cami Reid was the top girl for SVSEF placing thirteenth and Corbin Flood placed fourth on the podium, with Cam Beck coming in seventh.
