Freshman from Park City looks back on winning two titles at the 2021 NCAA Championships

Winning one national championship is special. Capturing two puts you in elite company. Utah freshman Nordic skier Sydney Palmer-Leger, who captured both of the women's races at the 2021 NCAA Championships, joins host Mike Lageschulte on this edition of Utes Insider to look back on her amazing performance.

After winning the 5-km classic during the first Nordic competition, Palmer-Leger came out strong again on the final day to capture the 15-km freestyle by 24 seconds. She became just the 12th skier in school history to win two races at the nationals and in the process helped lead Utah to its 14th national skiing title. Palmer-Leger has also been a member of the U.S. relay team and had a pair of top 25 finishes at the 2019 World Junior Championships.
