The U.S. junior national championships in Nordic combined skiing and ski jumping are less than two months away. But before the athletes can think about the championships, which will be held from March 17-21 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, they must still conquer the junior national qualifiers on Friday and Saturday at the Utah Olympic Park in Park City. “This is where we collectively watch the athletes in the event that they will qualify for the junior championships, or even the junior national team,” said Alan Alborn, high performance director for USA Nordic. “It’s always exciting to see the young talent come out and compete at a place like Utah Olympic Park. … We begin to find out who’s ready to step up to the next level, and the athletes who do well are usually the ones we see competing for us later on.” This is the second and final junior national qualifier of the season after the first event in Steamboat took place on Jan. 11.

Tess Arnone finished in first place at the event in Steamboat Springs, with Annika Malacinski and Alexa Brabec taking home second and third, respectively. All three members are already representing the United States at the national level; Arnone and Malacinski are on the U.S. Women’s national team for ski jumping, while Brabec is on the junior national team for Nordic combined. On the senior men’s side, PCSS has two athletes who are in the running for top spots in Zack Selzman and Sam Arquit, who finished eighth and ninth respectively. “FIS recognizes juniors as anyone who is 20 years old or younger so regardless of whether they’re on a national team or not, the athletes are free to compete at events like this, which we encourage,” Alborn said. “These are some of the best junior athletes that we have competing at this event, so the level of competition is really high. It’s great to have the athletes already on the national teams competing because it gives us a sense of who’s ready to make that jump up or not.” For Olden, Haerter and Selzman, their futures look extremely bright due to their age.
