JOs: Brownwell-Patty earns hat trick with J3 giant slalom win

Aspen’s Danielle Brownwell-Patty is on fire. The 13-year-old racer won her third race in as many days today (March 8) as she beat her nearest competitor by almost two full seconds in the giant slalom at the J3 Junior Olympics in Vail, Colo.

Over the weekend, Brownwell-Patty took the gold medals in both the downhill and super G races. She got the workweek stared right Monday morning by putting down the fastest two runs of the day for a combined time of 1:33.64.

With her wins, Brownwell-Patty has secured a spot on the Whistler Cup Team that will head to the Olympic site for international competition April 9-11. In its 18th year, the Whistler Cup is recognized as the most important ski race on the continent for racers between the ages of 11 and 14.

 “I’m really, really happy because my goal was to make Whistler, and I didn’t know how hard it was going to be,” Brownell-Patty told the Vail Daily. “I’ve been working really, really hard this season with dryland this season. So I’m really glad it’s paying off.”

Brownwell-Patty’s Aspen teammate Julia Mueller-Ristine (1:35.53) has been on a roll of her own, taking the silver medal today to accompany the silver she won in Saturday’s downhill and her bronze from yesterday’s super G.

Team Duluth’s Megan Danelski had an amazing second run to jump from sixth (after the first run) to third overall and claim the bronze medal.

Ski Club Vail’s Caroline Bryne, yesterday’s silver medalists, took fourth place after putting down the second-fastest second run.

The J3 Junior Olympics continue tomorrow with the men’s giant slalom.
