Compton and Kuzzy Complete Weekend SuperTour Sweep

Topher SabotJanuary 23, 2011

Different day, different distance and different technique, but the results were the same. CXC Elite teammates Caitlin Compton and Garrott Kuzzy won the 10/15km classic mass start events on the second day of the SuperTour Mayor’s Cup. The duo also took top honors in Saturday’s 5/10km freestyle race. Compton skied to a solid 20 second victory over UAF’s Raphaela Sieber in the women’s race. The weekend was also a CCSA collegiate event and midwest junior...

Kuzzy, Compton Lead CXC in SuperTour Domination

Topher SabotJanuary 22, 2011

Whether or not home-course advantage has much impact in cross-country skiing, the CXC Elite Team had no problem defending their local snow. SuperTour racing moved to the Midwest for the Mayor’s Challenge – two days of racing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Last week combined an EISA collegiate carnival with the Lake Placid SuperTour, and this week was similar, swapping out the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) for the EISA. The races are also Junior Olympic Qualifiers...

With Skate Sprint Victory, Koos Doubles Up in Rumford

Nathaniel HerzJanuary 8, 2011

Dumped from the U.S. Ski Team (USST) after a sub-par 2010, Torin Koos (Methow ODT) clearly had something to prove coming into the 2011 U.S. National Championships—and he didn’t disappoint. With a victory in Saturday’s skate sprint, Koos collected his second title of the week, coming out on top in a frantic dash to the line with Simi Hamilton (USST) and Lars Flora (APU). Koos’s two victories in Rumford could easily serve as the opening...

Rogers Rocks US Nationals Men’s Freestyle Sprint Qualifier

Nathaniel HerzJanuary 8, 2011

Sun Valley’s Colin Rodgers lost his shot at the 2010 Olympic team after a battle with compartment syndrome last year. But in Saturday’s skate sprint prelim at the 2011 U.S. championships in Rumford, he showed that he still has his speed. With the men’s qualifier concluded, live timing showed Rodgers edging CXC’s Garrott Kuzzy by a tenth of a second, with Simi Hamilton (USST) in third. Torin Koos (Methow ODT) was fourth, and Tim Reynolds...

Chief of Comp: “A Very Productive Day” in Rumford

Nathaniel HerzJanuary 3, 2011

Organizers and volunteers were working tirelessly on Monday to replenish the snow on Rumford’s depleted trails, as competitors at the 2011 U.S. National Championships fanned out north and west in search of skiing. Snowmaking at Black Mountain began at midnight on Monday morning, and by early that evening, Chief of Competition Carlie Casey said that Rumford’s Chisholm Ski Club was poised to pull off successful classic distance races on Wednesday. “We had a very productive...

US Nationals Day 1 is in the books. The race trail survived a couple days of warm temps and light rain. It looks like it will stay cold now and conditions will only improve – with a lot of snow making and shoveling – throughout the week. The East is known for extremely variable weather conditions [...]

Toko: US Nationals Classic Sprint

FasterSkierJanuary 2, 2011

Conditions were as forecasted – warm, wet, (although during race times there was no precipitation) dirty, and soft. The wax recommendation held up all day and as we recommended, more structure was needed as the day went on. Attention to detail proved to be very important today as well. Small things made a difference especially in a short race with extreme conditions (wet and dirty) and with a finishing section consisting of a downhill with...

FasterSkierJanuary 2, 2011

APU’s Holly Brooks has been waiting all year to test herself against the eastern women—at least one of whom, Ida Sargent, raced on the World Cup this fall. If Sunday’s classic sprint qualifier results at nationals are the first measure, Brooks is on her way to acing that test. At Rumford’s Black Mountain, she skied to a three-second victory in the preliminary round over her teammate Sadie Bjornsen. Dartmouth’s Sophie Caldwell was third, with Morgan...

Back home again! There’s so much snow here in Minneapolis that the police cars come standard with ski racks. What do I do to kick back, relax, and get my mind off of skiing when I’m home? Why, go skiing of course! Got out with the Fays, Skolds, Bohns, and Kuzzys for a cruise around Baker. [...]
