Nakiska, AB (March 28, 2011) – Coupe GMC Cup contender Madison McLeish (Canmore, AB) tied veteran Canadian Alpine Ski Team (CAST) member Britt Janyk in the super-G today, earning her first GMC Canadian Championship title, claiming the Junior GMC Canadian Championship super-G title, and surging forward in the rankings for the Coupe GMC Cup.
With this outstanding result the eighteen-year-old McLeish, skiing with the Alberta Ski Team, surged forward six spots in the standings to position herself in fourth place in a tight race for the ladies’ Coupe GMC Cup. BC Ski Team’s Sarah Freeman (Fernie Alpine Ski Team) sits in 5th position at this point.
The men raced a super-combined today amid challenging visibility and snow conditions, with exciting results by Coupe GMC Cup contenders Conrad Pridy (Whistler Mountain Ski Club) of the BC Ski Team – finishing 4th overall – and Simon-Claude Toutant (19) of the Val St. Come Ski Club. Pridy and Toutant’s results in the combined were enough to push the older and more experienced Jeffrey Frisch, yesterday’s Canadian Champion in the men’s super-G, from first to third in the overall Coupe GMC Cup standings. Pridy’s time of 1.41.22 resulted in a fourth-place overall finish and the lead in the Coupe GMC Cup.
The winner of the overall Coupe GMC Cup receives five thousand dollars in prize money and joins an impressive group of alumni including CAST team members Erin Mielzynski (Guelph, ON) and Kelby Halbert (Bradford, ON).
The GMC Canadian Championships will run till March 31st at Nakiska Ski Resort in Kananaskis.
