Slalom ace Tom Rothrock retires from national team

Olympian Tom Rothrock has retired after eight seasons with the U.S. Ski Team, Alpine Director Jesse Hunt said.
    Rothrock, a 2002 Olympic skier and former Western regional slalom and giant slalom junior champion, had four World Cup top-10 results in his career. He was named to his third consecutive World Championships team this winter. He and wife, Angie, are the parents of a young son, Preston, who was born last summer; they live in Cashmere, Washington.
    “Tom’s been a great teammate, an outstanding slalom skier, and we’re going to miss him, but he’s got other opportunities and we wish him the best of everything,” Hunt said.
