Weisel, Lathrop win U18 honors in opening slalom

With a strong second run, Kipling Weisel of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation won the opening slalom race at the U.S. Alpine U-18 National Championships at Mammoth Mountain, California. Weisel charged back from sixth place after the first run with the second-fastest second run to win by three hundredths.

Garret Driller, of Squaw Valley was second, moving up further than Weisel had in his second run. Hughston Norton, also of Squaw, got third on the day.

It was a difficult course set, making Weisel’s run all the more interesting, as he is better known as a speed skier. “Kipling has compressed a lot of hard work in a short period of time, but he was smart enought and patient enough to eventually let it pay off,” said Sun Valley coach Ruben Macaya.

Stratton’s Brittany Lathrop got the women’s slalom win in a tight race with Audrey O’Brien of Burke. Anna Mounsey out of Snoqualamie, got the third spot on the podium.

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.”
