Men's Nor Am qualifier won by Snow; Slovak Kantorova wins women's race

By Published On: November 20th, 2012Comments Off on Men's Nor Am qualifier won by Snow; Slovak Kantorova wins women's race

The Nor Am Qualifiers, a new twist added by the USSA Congress in the Spring, were designed to aid in qualification for the December Nor Ams. The two races per gender will fill in the few remaining spots in the Nor Am fields. There were just 24 finishers in today’s men’s race with about half the field failing to finish. Scott Snow took both runs while Sandy Vietze held on for second place a few tenths back. Nicholas Krause, Alex Leever and Taylor Shifferin rounded out the top five. Yesterday’s winner, Canadian Ford Swette placed seventh.

Slovakian Barbara Kantorova took a convincing win (nearly two seconds) in the women’s race with Mardene Haskell and Jacqueline Wiles filling out the podium spots respectively.

About the Author: Hank McKee

In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
