DU Competing at World Cup

DENVER – The University of Denver ski team has been represented well in the early season World Cups.
Highlighting the start of the World Cup season was senior Storm Klomhaus who made her World Cup debut in the giant slalom in Soelden, Austria.
Junior Amelia Smart and sophomore Simon Fournier began their seasons with a start in the World Cup slaloms in Levi, Finland.
In Killington, DU was represented by four women, Klomhaus in the giant slalom, Katie Hensien, Andrea Komsic, and Smart in the slalom. Smart missed qualifying for a second run by only .03 of a second, finishing the first run in 31st place.
Sophomore Tristan Lane began his preparation by getting in some good speed training by forerunning the Men's World Cup in Lake Louis, Canada and again in Beaver Creek, Colo.
Joining Lane in the forerunning at Beaver Creek was junior Jett Seymour who kicked off each run of the giant slalom.
Denver alumni also lit up the scoreboard in the giant slalom in Beaver Creek. From Norway, Leif Haugen took home 3rd place and Canadian Trevor Philp skied to 6th. Canadian Erik Read was also sitting pretty in 14th after the first run but failed to find the finish line on the second run. Read finished 7th in the World Cup giant slalom last month in Soelden, so the speed is there.
