Copper National Championships
-----------------------------
The Far West division team competing at the Copper Mountain national
championships posted some outstanding results during a week of
challenging racing. Matt Savage celebrated his birthday week with a
dominating sweep of M01 as the fastest man on the hill in every event.
Pierre Jeangirard torched the final day's GS to claim a
come-from-hehind victory in the always-strong M07. Ara Papazian took
the overall title in M04 for his first-ever national championship in a
gratifying "recovery year" return from last year's blown knee. Mike
Braun posted two silver medal podium finishes in M04, Jim Dugan had two
bronze medals in M10, and Buck Thys was back on the race course after a
year lost to injury with two silver medals in M12. The traditionally
strong Far West women also posted their share of podium results, led by
Sandy Hogan's outstanding SG silver medal and gold in SL in W09 and
podium finishes by Marietta Frinell (W10)and Marcie Pettigrew (W09).
In a tight race that went down to the final day, Eastern division edged
out Far West to take the Division's Cup trophy. Our team made a good
run at the cup, despite the loss to injury of usually-reliable point
contributors Deb Lewis and Don Smith.
