Eleven women took the downhill challenge with Rocky Mountain division’s, Jennifer Kaufman taking the women’s race. Intermountain’s Jenny Badger and Eastern’s Barb Brumbaugh round out the overall podium.
It was a tight race in men’s action as the top three men were separated by only five hundredths of a second. Eastern division’s Ben Green squeaked out a win from Erik Klemme from the Rocky Mountain division by one one-hundredth of a second. Willy Scroggins from Pacific Northwest clearly one both bottom intervals but settled for third overall.
Super G training takes place on Wednesday with Super G racing taking place on Thursday for all groups.
