Maple and Staples Take Lake Louise NorAm Downhills in Lake Louise
American Wiley Maple won the first downhill of the Men’s NorAm season today (Dec. 8) at the Northwest Funds Coupe Nor-Am Cup held in Lake Louise, AB. Maple came down with a winning time of 1:28.59, just 13-hundredths of a second ahead of Canada’s Kelby Halbert. Third place went to Canada’s Benjamin Thomsen who was a little over a half a second off the pace, 1:29.17.
“Wiley and I have been friends for a while. He’s a bit of a speedster,” said Halbert. “When I came down I led by something like four tenths (of a second) and then he came down right after me and snatched it away.”
It was Maple’s first NorAm Cup win, and the second NorAm Cup podium of his career.
The next Americans to finish behind Maple were Nick Daniels of the U.S. Ski Team and Chris Frank tying for fifth place, and U.S. Ski Team’s Tommy Biesemeyer finished eighth.
On the women’s side, it was the U.S. Ski Team’s Kiley Staples earning the third NorAm victory of her young career and her first in the downhill. Racing on the same mountain that staged World Cup events last week, Staples finished with a time of 1:33.38.
Victoria Stevens of Canada finished fifty-nine hundredths of a second behind Staples in second place, to earn her first NorAm podium. American Julia Ford rounded out the podium in third with a total time of 1:34.01.
The Northwest Funds Coupe NorAm Cup presented by Continental Tire continues tomorrow with another men’s and women’s downhill followed by a super-G on Friday.
