CABLE, WI - The University of Alaska Fairbanks men's and women's ski teams continued their winning ways at the Telemark NorAm SuperTour stop in Cable, WI on Saturday. The women's team took four of the top-six spots in the collegiate standings and the men's team took four of the top-nine positions in the college ranks.
Skiing at the Telemark Resort, the women competed in a 5km classic race, while the men competed in a 10km classic race. Collegiate skiers were also scored towards Central Collegiate Ski Association and NCAA qualifying.
For UAF head coach
