SUN VALLEY, Idaho – The Utah Nordic ski team competed in Sun Valley this weekend in the opening event of the U.S. Super Tour with skiers coming away with several strong results.
Â
"It's been a tough schedule the last few weeks with lots of travel and finals on top of everything else," Nordic head coach Miles Havlick said. "The team has handled it well with a number of top results this past weekend as we head into the holidays. It will be nice to get a little breather over winter break but I am excited to see what is in store for the Utes when the racing resumes in the New Year!"
Â
In Saturday's classic sprint races, freshman Luke Jager finished second overall and first among the U18/U20's in the men's race. Noel Keeffe was also in the final, finishing fourth overall. Logan Diekmann, Samuel Hendry and Ola Jordheim all made the semifinals with Diekmann placing ninth, Hendry 12th and Jordheim in 17th.
Â
 In the women's classic sprint, Guro Jordheim finished fifth after a fall in the race. Leah Lange made the semifinals and placed 12th overall with Mariah Bredal also in the semis, finishing 15th.

Hendry led Utah in Sunday's men's 15-km freestyle race with a fifth-place finish. Diekman finished 23rd, Jager 24th and Ola Jordheim 28th. In the women's 10-km race, Guro Jordheim finished sixth with Lange 12th and Bredal in 25th.
