Nyman, Ross take NorAm downhill in Lake Louise

The NorAm Cup speed season kicked off today (Dec. 9) in Lake Louise, Canada with men’s and women’s downhill races. The racers got their turn on the world-class slope only days after women’s World Cup races were held there.

World Cup regular, American Steven Nyman, who is getting some miles on his long boards on the NorAm circuit while he continues to rehab following double knee surgery this summer, led an American men’s podium sweep finishing in 1:49.59. Will Brandenberg followed 0.55s behind with Travis Ganong in third.

Jan Hudec was the top Canadian, finishing ninth followed by Dustin Cook in 10th.

American Will Gregorak was the top men’s junior, with a time of 1:55.77. Ontario’s Kelby Halbert was the top Canadian junior, 12th overall with a time of 1:51.14.


On the women’s side, it was another American, Laurenne Ross, with a time of 1:54.17 to take the win. Canadian Georgia Simmerling (1:55.20) grabbed second place, followed by American Julia Ford rounding out the podium in third. Ford was also the top junior on the day.
 

NorAm competition in Lake Louise continues tomorrow with another men’s and women’s downhill race. A NorAm super G will be held Friday (Nov.11).
