Bocock sisters and Hensien deliver historic result in Vail

Rowmark Ski Academy alumni made a resounding statement at the 2026 U.S. National Championships, sweeping the women’s giant slalom podium in a historic performance that underscores the program’s continued impact on American alpine skiing.

Elisabeth Bocock led the charge, capturing the national title, while her sister Mary Bocock secured second place and Katie Hensien rounded out the podium in third. All three athletes are Rowmark alumni and current members of the U.S. Ski Team.

First ever GS podium sweep highlights development success

The result marks the first time Rowmark Ski Academy athletes have swept a U.S. Nationals podium in women’s giant slalom, a milestone achievement that reinforces the program’s reputation as one of the country’s premier development pipelines.

From junior ranks to the highest levels of international competition, Rowmark continues to produce athletes capable of excelling on the sport’s biggest stages.

Olympic and international success continues

Mary Bocock and Katie Hensien both represented the United States at the Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games, further illustrating Rowmark’s influence at the elite level. Their continued success, alongside Elisabeth Bocock’s rapid rise, highlights the depth and strength of the program’s alumni.

Elisabeth Bocock’s victory in Vail adds to a standout season that already includes a silver medal in giant slalom at the Junior World Championships, cementing her status as one of the top emerging talents in U.S. alpine skiing.

Momentum builds with Olympic gold and rising stars

The podium sweep follows another major milestone for the Rowmark community, as alumna Breezy Johnson captured Olympic gold in the downhill at the Milano Cortina Games. Together, these results signal a wave of success for athletes developed through the program.

With a growing list of national champions, Olympians, and world class competitors, Rowmark Ski Academy continues to shape the future of U.S. alpine skiing, one podium at a time.
