By Published On: December 12th, 2019Comments Off on Cashman, Read Win DH Opener in Lake Louise

Last week, in Lake Louise the downhill track was carved out by the World Cup, a precursor to the North American Cup (NorAm) speed races taking place this week. The action kicked off Wednesday with sunnier weather, less snowfall, and colder mornings. Conditions have made for a fast track and it will be an exciting few days of downhill training and racing. 

Racing started Wednesday with the men and women both hitting full-throttle on the downhill track. 

On the women’s side, Keely Cashman, of the U.S. Ski Team laid down a screaming run with a finish time of 1:01.10 to win. She let her skis run, held an awesome line, and grabbed her tuck where it was most needed. Stefanie Fleckenstein from Canada came in second and Isabella Wright from the United States rounded out the podium in 3rd place. 

On the men’s side, Canadian, Jeffery Read raced to a winning finish with a time of 1:17.68. Alexander Cameron came through the finish line only .01 behind Read for second place. Both held a strong focus throughout the course and let their skis run. Kyle Alexander finished out a Canadian podium sweep with his third place. It was an awesome day for the Canadian men’s team. 

Stay tuned Thursday as another DH race takes place for both the men and women. Excitement is to come as scattered flurries move into the forecast tomorrow, which may change the dynamics of this race.
