A recap of the weekend: Friday (DH-1) - No indication of what was to come. After being 45th and then 11th in training, Kildow devoured the course, finishing in one minute, 23.44 seconds for the first World Cup triumph of her career. Olympic gold medalist Carole MontilletCarles of France was second (1:23.63) with Austrian Reflate Goclschl of Austria - who has four wins and four other top-3s at Lake Louise - coming in third. Caroline Lalive was ninth (1:24.46) for the U.S. Ski Team with P.C. Winter School's Julia Mancusol5lh (1:24.82). "Tailwind at the top, headwind at the bottom." Kildow said, plus flat light.

Meehan building on experiences in Calif. adjust his schedule once again when his family moves back to Park City. In January, Meehan will finish the year al Park City High School and attend the University of Utah in the fall when he hopes to walk on to the football team "I've been in contact with the recruiting staff," said Meehan, who was invited by Utah to stand on the sidelines at the Utah/BYU football game. "I'm on the recruiting list, but I don't think they're actively recruiting me." Meehan may get more popular as potential recruits head elsewhere following Head Coach Urban Meyer's decision to become the head coach at University of Florida next year. But Meehan isn't banking on luck. He plans to continue to work as hard as possible until next August. "I just want to gel big enough, that's the only thing I can control in the next months, is how strong and fast I gel," says Meehan.

Other programs may actually have recruited Meehan, but with a couple of addresses in Utah and California he can't be sure. If things don't work out at Utah. Median will make adjustments to stay in the game. "It is what it is. If I don't make it at Utah. I could transfer through an abroad program and keep my in-state tuition," said Meehan. But those possibilities are light years away for Median. For the rest of the month, he is just preparing for his next big move.
