The Canadians, led by Patrick Biggs and Marie-Michele Gagnon, swept the second day of the Australia New Zealand Cup races at Coronet Peak Tuesday (Aug. 17) winning the slalom races.
Canadian National team member Biggs was first home with Canadian David Donaldson second and national teammate Trevor White in third place. In the women’s event Gagnon won the race with Hailey Duke of the U.S. second and Madison Irwin of Canada in third.
The first New Zealander to finish in the men’s event was Harrison Steedman in 10th place while the first New Zealand woman was Sarah Jarvis who finished fourth.
Race and Events Head of Department at Coronet Peak, Richard Murphy, said it was fantastic to host the event in Queenstown despite warm temperatures and poor visibility today.
“It was a great race run under difficult conditions, all credit to everyone who finished today,” said Murphy.

About the Author: Hank McKee
In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
