The Lake Louise Nor Am Downhill event wrapped up today with one race each for the men and women. A second race was in the plans for the ladies to make up for Thursday’s cancellation, but in the end, time did now allow it.
Whistler’s Britt Janyk (CAST), who must be pleased with her recent decision to turn her focus from technical to speed skiing, tore up the course in one minute, 51.44 seconds to win the race.
Emily Brydon (CAST) of Fernie, BC finished just .02 seconds out of the medals in 4th place.
Congratulations to BC Team’s Kelsey Serwa of Kelowna and the Big White Racers. Serwa, in her first season with the provincial team, scored her best Nor Am speed result to date, finishing 12th in 1:54.30. She was the 4th fastest Junior for the day and top Canadian Junior.
