Dvoracek Podiums at RMISA Slalom Qualifier
1/17/2020 5:32 PM | Skiing
SALT LAKE CITY – Addison Dvoracek finished third to lead the Utah ski team at in an RMISA slalom qualifier race on Friday afternoon.
RMISA qualifiers 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.
Dvoracek has three podium finishes this season but this was his first in the slalom. Tomas Birkner earned his third top 10 finish of the season with a 10th-place finish. Joachim Lien did not finish his first run while Fredrik Maurstad and Huston Philp did not finish their second runs. Gustav Vøllo was disqualified his second run after running the seventh-fastest first run.
Katie Vesterstein led the women with a 10th-place finish. Eirin Engeset was 13th, Sona Moravcikova 16th and Katie Parker 17th. Roni Remme did not finish her first run.
"Great finish for Addison in the slalom," head alpine coach JJ Johnson said. "Rough day overall for the team, but sometimes that's just slalom. Gustav skied unbelievable and self-reported that he straddled a gate. He did the right thing, which was tough, but credit to him for his honesty and class about the situation. It's what our team is about. They have both been watching Joachim in the slalom, and it's great when you get to the point the student-athletes are coaching each other. Katie Parker finished all three races, which was her plan, and she'll have a better start number for the next meets. Eirin, Sona and Katie V all skied smart. Roni was ripping her first run. Tomas was again solid and there were some tough combinations that got Fredrik at the bottom of the second run.
"We're excited and happy about our skiing, but I think everyone is ready for a break. We'll rest up and take some time for training and school."
The Nordic team has its first race of the season on Saturday, Jan. 18, with the freestyle races of the Colorado Invitational beginning at 9:00 a.m.
