Utah Ski Team Looks to Maintain High Level in 2013

Utes feature blend of experienced upperclassmen and enthusiastic newcomers.

“If certain things fall in our favor, we could be ready to vie for the title,” Utah Director of Skiing Kevin Sweeney said. “The reason why I say that is we do have a nice combination of returning athletes who have demonstrated they can score well in the RMISA as well as the NCAAs. At the same time, we’ve brought in excellent recruits who have already competed at a very high level. When I look at this squad from an overall perspective, I do think we’re balanced and able to score well in each of the disciplines, both Alpine and Nordic. If we’re able to carry that through the season and go into the championships healthy, we can give the title a run. That’s certainly what we’re gunning for.” A combination of veteran wisdom and an energetic corps of newcomers rejuvenated Utah’s team chemistry during offseason as the Utes will feature nine returners, seven of whom have prior experience at the NCAA Championships, as well as nine new team members joining the squad for their first season, but have competed in top-notch national and international competitions throughout their respective careers. “We have a group of newcomers that knows how to compete at the NCAA level and we have this new group that’s full of energy,” Sweeney said. “They’re pushing the juniors and seniors in workouts. They’re excited to be here and have really engaged in what this program has to offer. They’re happy, motivated and doing well academically so this makes the chemistry extremely positive. I really view that as strength of this team. The cohesion of such a new group has exceeded far beyond my expectations.” Despite the tight bond between teammates, a series of tough decisions will have to be made in March when determining who will represent the Utes in the NCAA Championships. “I can honestly say that for nearly every discipline that the competition to see who’s going to end up securing a championships spot will be exciting to watch unfold,” Sweeney said. “In the big picture, I’m happy with the depth, experience and leadership we have. This is a nice position to be in and it will be important for the staff to manage this well.”

Men’s Alpine

The Ute men’s Alpine competitors welcome back two athletes who have competed in the national meet, including senior Ryan Wilson, who finished second in the men’s giant slalom race for his best finish ever at the NCAA Championships in 2012. Jeremy Elliot was an AllRMISA selection in 2011 and went on to place 11th in the slalom and 34th in the GS that season at nationals. Tim Hribar comes back for his sophomore season after finishing in the top 10 three times and serving as the alternate for the NCAA Championships during his freshman season. Redshirt freshman Eian Sandvik and incoming freshman Andy Trow, who is a member of the Canadian National team, will also join the Utes for the 2013 campaign. “This is a group that we have the most returning student-athletes with experience in collegiate competition,” Sweeney said. “They’re a tight-knit squad. This is a dynamic group of student-athletes. What’s going to go on with this group is some spirited inter-squad competition to determine who’s going to end up making the NCAA three. I’m really looking forward to it. Each one of these studentathletes has the potential to be on the NCAA podium. I like the mix that this group has. They are balanced in technique, slalom and GS, and there’s good NCAA experience with Ryan and Jeremy.” Women’s Alpine

Junior Jaime DuPratt emerged last season as one of the RMISA’s top performers after earning All-RMISA Second Team honors and posting her first career victory in the slalom at the Alaska Anchorage Invitational. A pair of accomplished competitors will join DuPratt, including Ana Kobal (a member of the Slovenian National Team for the last six years who also won the 2012 Slovenian giant slalom national championship) and Kristiina Rove (member of the Finnish National Team in the European Cup from 2010 through 2012). “The highlight of this group is the level of experience that they have,” Sweeney said. “Jaime, who will now be competing in her third year after having a breakout season last year, and was winning runs and has developed into an excellent collegiate racer. Now you bring in Ana and Kristiina, who have not raced in college, however they have skied at an extremely high level on the international scene so they bring experience, intensity, confidence and credibility.”

Ryan Wilson

Men’s Nordic Miles Havlick enters his final season of eligibility with 19 career podium finishes and six career victories. The Boulder, Colo., native is the two-time, reigning Ski Racing Magazine’s Men’s Nordic Collegiate Skier of the Year and a five-time All-American. Four newcomers will join Havlick on the course, including Noé Bellet (last year’s French champion in Skiathlon and Vice France champion in Sprint), Tucker McCrerey (ranked in the top 30 in the US for sprinting and posted impressive results at Junior Championships), Einar Ulsund (who took ninth place in the 50-km mass start skate at the Norwegian national championships in 2009 and was 14th in 2010) and Niklas Persson (who won the Swedish Junior Championships 10-km race and took third at the NJC Double Pursuit 20km). “This group is where one of the largest turnovers on the team can be found so we have a lot of newcomers,” Sweeney said. “There certainly are some unknowns, but Miles is incredibly hungry to finish up his senior year and if he stays on track, he’ll definitely be the leader of this group. What I like about this squad is that we’re bringing in some very extremely experienced skiers with high-level national and international experience. At the same time, we’re bringing in some excellent talent at the younger level, like Einar, Tucker, Niklas and Noé.” “After graduating a trio of successful, veteran RMISA skiers last year, we knew we had some work to do in rebuilding our men’s team for this season,” Head Nordic Coach Abi Holt said. “I knew that we had tracked down some great athletes, but you just never know how the team chemistry will shake out until they have a chance to get out and train together. This fall has gone well, and I’m happy with how this team is shaping up. I think this men’s team is strong, and I have a hunch that they will just continue to build momentum throughout the upcoming racing season.” Women’s Nordic

The senior trio of Rose Kemp, Parker Tyler and Marta Larsen will anchor Utah’s women’s Nordic crew. Each has competed on a silver medal NCAA Championships team and would love to improve upon that result. The duo of Sloan Storey and Anna Svendsen will join the roster with impressive credentials. Storey qualified for the Junior Olympics each of the last four years, while Svendsen made her World Cup debut last March and also took 16th in the sprint classic at the Norway National Championships last year.

Season Outlook

After finishing second overall at the NCAA Championships each of the last two seasons, the University of Utah ski team is looking to continue its track record of recent success in 2013, while keeping an eye out for the 12th national title in school history at the national meet in Middlebury, Vt., Mar. 6-9, 2013.

2013 UTAH SKIING

“We’re returning several athletes in this group,” Sweeney said. “Each of the returning skiers have NCAA experience. Certainly, Rose, Parker and Marta are some of the top skiers in the RMISA and I like what we’ve done with the recruiting. Anna and Sloan should add a real punch to this squad.” “Our seniors have really stepped up to their leadership roles this year,” Holt said. “Rose, Parker, and Marta have a lot of RMISA racing experience among them, and a lot of skiing wisdom to share with the incoming team members. From day one, it has been a pleasure to see the senior women pull the freshmen women into the fold, and I think this makes a tremendous difference in easing the transition into college racing. I can’t wait to see the results this group will generate this season.” Utah Invitational After not hosting a meet during the 2012 season, the Utes look forward to having the Utah Invitational on their schedule with Alpine events on Jan. 31-Feb. 1 in Park City and the Nordic races on Feb. 8-9 in Soldier Hollow. “Last season was tough without a home invitational,” Sweeney said. “It’s going to be really nice for us to be home and not be on the road so much. Everyone is looking forward to that both the student-athletes as well as our alumnae. Since we are going to host the 2014 NCAA Championships, that’s certainly going to play in because people are really excited to come here and race on what will be the championships venues. It should be some great racing.”

She coached four winters in Europe with the U.S. Ski Team at the J1 Scandinavian Championships, Scando Cup, Europa Cup and World Junior Championships. Holt has also spent time training athletes in Sweden, Norway and New Zealand.

“Student-athletes at the University of Utah are getting extraordinary support from the athletic department and the University itself,” he said. “The University provides student athletes an outstanding environment to develop their athleticism as well as gain a world class education. This team has a rich tradition of excellence, and I am extremely excited, motivated, and honored to lead this team to continued success.”

“We have added new athletes to both the men’s and the women’s rosters this year, and these athletes have brought some great new energy to the team,” Holt said. “I’ve seen some fantastic interaction between the senior members of the team and the new group. They have all pushed one another to improve throughout the fall training season. I look forward to seeing what the upcoming racing season will bring for us.”

A native of Slovenia, Korencan earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Utah in 2004, and in 2007 he completed a master’s degree in Sport Psychology.

Holt, who hails from Sun Valley, Idaho, was a three-time national junior champion and a 17-time Junior AllAmerican for the Sun Valley Nordic ski team. She was on the U.S. National Junior Development ski team for five years and spent four years racing at Dartmouth College, earning All-American honors for the Big Green in addition to being a two-time team captain.

Prior to Hollyburn, Holt spent five years as the Assistant Nordic Program Director and Ski Coach at the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.

Will McDonald is beginning his third season on the Ute coaching staff. This is his first full-time coaching appointment after coaching ski racing during the summer for the last five years. McDonald has an accomplished past in ski racing as he was the first American, along with Lindsey Vonn, to win a race at Topolin. They both took slalom titles. He also won two gold medals at the Whistler Cup in the slalom and the giant slalom. At age 18, McDonald was ranked in the top 15 in slalom for the U.S., before starting his collegiate racing career at the University of Utah in 2003. He qualified for the NCAA Championships three times before graduating in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and Health. He won his first FIS race at the age of 15, competing against college athletes, and was ranked No. 1 in the world for his age in slalom from age 14 to 16. The Aspen, Colo., native started skiing at the age of 3. McDonald is now working toward a master’s degree in Environmental Science within the PMST program at the U. of U.
