Alexa Turzian, junior skier from Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, has been challenging the top seniors on the SuperTour for the past two months. On Thursday, she had a breakthrough performance to earn a National Championship in the women’s 10K skate event.
Turzian was in 6th place after the first of two laps, but used a scorching second lap to win by 11 seconds over Kikkan Randall (APU). For Randall, it was her second consecutive 2nd place finish. Karin Camenisch (Rossignol) was third, Tazlina Mannix (APU) 4th, and yesterday’s winner Lindsey Weier (NMU) was fifth.
Turzian has been one of the top junior skiers in the country for the past couple of years. Last year she was a member of the US Junior World Championships team and won the girls J1 skate race at Junior Nationals. This year, she was ranked 13th overall in the SuperTour prior to Nationals, and was the second ranked junior behind Liz Stephen of the US Ski Team.
This was the second day of racing at the championships, held at the
Michigan Tech Nordic Training Center. Racers again faced temperatures
in the low 40s and soft trail conditions. Competitors will now have a
day off before entering a weekend of sprinting.
