MIDWAY, Utah – Coming off of an impressive start to the college season at the Utah Invitational on Sunday, Jan. 2, the Utes will conclude the Nordic portion of the meet at Soldier Hollow on Thursday, Jan. 6 with classic distance racing.
Utah currently leads the meet in the team standings with 187 points, and holds a 39-point margin over Alaska Anchorage and Colorado in a share of second place. A recap and results from Sunday's action is available here.
As with last Sunday's freestyle sprints, tomorrow's races will take place within the U.S. National Championships. Live timing can be accessed here and races will be streamed here beginning at 8:45 a.m. MT.
Sydney Palmer-Leger and Abby Jarzin are both expected to be in action Thursday after hitting the podium to open the Utah Invitational last Sunday, as is Julia Richter who placed sixth in the day's freestyle sprints.
For the men on Thursday, Noel Keeffe, Walker Hall and Brian Bushey highlight the group and Bjørn Riksaasen will also be out on the course. Keeffe had a second-place college finish on Sunday and was third that day among Nationals competition.
While the Nordic portion of the Utah Invitational concludes tomorrow, the Utes will be right back at it from Soldier Hollow on Friday, Jan. 7, this time for an extra RMISA qualifier in classic sprint races. Both Thursday and Friday's races are included in the SuperTour standings.
