Phelan tops podium in Loveland NorAm
At the NorAm slalom in Loveland Tuesday, Canada’s Brittany Phelan made her second trip to the podium in as many days. This time, she reached the top with a time of 1 minute, 35.96 seconds on a day that saw 25 DNFs in the first run alone (36 total).
Just more than a tenth of a second separated the three podium finishers. Phelan squeaked out Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener by a hundredth of a second. France’s Laurie Mougel rounded out the top three.
For the second day in a row, D Team member Lila Lapanja was the top American with a time of 1:39.38. She finished 14th, followed closely by Erika Ghent in 17th. Megan McJames was able to put two runs together for a 19th-place finish.
