BOZEMAN, Mont. – In her Utah skiing debut, Ann-Kathrin Breuning finished second in the women's giant slalom RMISA qualifier on Saturday to lead the Ute ski team at Big Sky Resort in Bozeman, Mont.
 
Breuning, who is in her first season at Utah after previously skiing three seasons at Westminster, has eight collegiate podium finishes. Julie Mohagen finished 12^th for the women while Sabine Krautgasser placed 23^rd.
 
In the men's race, Sam Dupratt finished seventh to lead the Utes. In their Utah debuts, Linus Walch placed 13^th while Huston Philip finished 18^th. Ty Sprock finished 19^th with Martin Grasic in 21^st.
 
The RMISA alpine qualifier races do not count towards any team scoring and are used as an extra opportunity for skiers to earn qualification points for the NCAA Championships at the end of the season.
 
The alpine teams continue at Big Sky as the Montana State Invitational begins on Sunday, Jan. 7, with the men's and women's giant slalom races.
