At U.S. Alpine Nationals, locals shine in Greyhawk Super G

U.S Ski Teamers Kyle Negomir, Tricia Mangan win speed events

Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation racers enjoyed their home hill advantage on Sunday, logging strong finishes in the Super G of the Toyota U.S. Alpine Championships.

The Greyhawk course set a challenging tone to open the races on Sun Valley’s Bald Mountain: around one third of the men and one quarter of the women who started the speed event didn’t finish it.

In the end, Kyle Negomir of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail took the men’s crown, and HoliMont Snowsports’ Tricia Mangan topped the women’s podium.

Negomir, a native of Littleton, Colorado, and a member of U.S. Alpine B Team, crossed the line in 1:09.82, 0.74 seconds ahead of teammates Erik Arvidsson of Team Palisades Tahoe and .79 seconds ahead of Isaiah Nelson, the 2022 World Junior Super-G Champion and member of the Buck Hill (Minnesota) Ski Team.
