USASA Slalom Double Header at Bromley

Nikki S. (on left with blue beanie) shows off her 2 Bronze medals for Sunday's Slalom

Sunday January 2, 2011 was the KWSC/KMS Snowboard Team's first Slalom of the year, a double header held at Bromley. With warm temps and granular snow, the conditions were good for the race, but certainly favored the athletes riding on alpine setups.

Sam "Lightning" Hayden performed admirably again against his USASA National rival competitors and raced to a solid 4th place in his Breaker (12-13) age group.

Nikki "Thunder" Sardelli also had a good day, showing exceptional improvement in her racing skills since her first event several weeks ago. Nikki scored the Bronze in both races.

In the extremely competitive Youth (14-15) division, Kamran "Hurricane" Gossieaux also had a promising day, placing fifth in race 1 and placing 4th in race 2 by 0.3 seconds after a near fall. Rounding out the KWSC/KMS team finishes was Alex "Tornado" Sheppard who nabbed a 7th in race 1 and really stepping it up to nab 5th in race 2 just behind Gossieaux.

Way to go KMS racers!!!
