Several Park City juniors were the top performers in their classes in the event. Logan Chamberlain matched his earlier success in series races by turning in the fast- est time of the day. The Wasatch Nordic Academy athlete won the open division by skating three laps around the hilly 6.7 kilometer loop in 53 minutes, 18 seconds. In age group competition, Aidan Rasmussen easily outpaced his under-16 rivals with a one-lap time of just 17:45. This was an even faster pace than his older Wasatch teammate. Park City Nordic skier Lane Myshrall won the gold medal in the un- der-18 class by skating two laps in 36:02. Sabine Wilson, also on the Wasatch Nordic team, took the under-16 girls title by turning in the fastest lap time of the day for any woman in any class.
