Devlin-Young takes World Cup title

WHISTLER, BC (March 12) – Thursday marked another success for the U.S. Adaptive Alpine Ski Team as Chris Devlin-Young took the super G globe during a super combined at the site of the 2010 Paralympic Games in Vancouver.

Devlin-Young led the way for a great deal of success as teammate Stephani Victoe (sit-ski; Park City, UT) finished second in the hunt for the women’s super G globe.

“This is the first time I have been in the lead for the super G overall standings and I was really looking for the win. Unfortunately I was not able to execute my plan and I blew out of the course,” Victor said. “I am still pleased to finish second overall and I am very excited for my teammate Chris Devin-Young who continues to lead the charge in the super G.”

In the race itself, Laurie Stephens (sit-ski; Wenham, MA) took first in the super combined, and she, along with Devlin-Young, each took third in the super G.

“The entire staff is thrilled for Chris and Laurie,” U.S. Adaptive Ski Team Head Coach Ray Watkins said. “We are excited for tomorrows GS and hope we can continue with this momentum from today.”

The Team competes in a giant slalom on Saturday before finishing out the series with slalom on Sunday.
