March 21, 2015 (Sun Valley, ID) – APU ruled as Sadie and Erik Bjornsen took no prisoners today on their way to victory in the women’s 10km and men’s 15km CL individual competitions on the Galena Trails at the 2015 Supertour Finals hosted by the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Both put the hammer down and got the job done with about a minute to spare.

Chelsea Holmes (APU) took second and Liz Stephen (Burke Mountain) third in the women’s race while Alexander Treinen (APU) took the silver in the men’s race followed by Mads Stroem (Colorado) in third.

“It was great to get back to the US and do my first race on US soil this year today in Sun Valley. I especially enjoyed putting on my APU blue uniform and joining up with my teammates and coaches that I spend all summer, spring and fall training with! That is the best part of coming back to the US and doing the last few races of the year,” commented Sadie B.

“These races are especially challenging because we are racing at 7,600 feet, at Galena Lodge in Sun Valley, which means not a whole lot of oxygen. But what better way to end the season than with a BIG challenge!

“I also enjoyed sharing the top step with my brother. It is extra fun to win the same day as your sibling. We both love classic, so we tend to have our “good days” on the same day.

“I am looking forward to three more fun races to go. The skate sprint tomorrow, team event on tuesday, and the 30k skate on Thursday,” she concluded.
