9 Alaskan or Alaska-affiliated cross country skiers named to 2022-24 U.S. National Team

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) -Whether or not they grew up in Alaska, practice in Alaska or went to school in Alaska, the 2022-23 United States Nationwide Cross Nation Workforce is filled with Alaskans or Alaska-affiliated cross nation skiers on all ranges.

Three Alaskan regulars are again on the A staff: Rosie Brennan, Scott Patterson and JC Schoonmaker. All three participated within the final Olympic video games held in Beijing, with Brennan simply barely lacking a Bronze medal within the girls’s dash free.

On the B staff are Hailey Swirbul, Luke Jager, Gus Schumacher and Hunter Wonders.

In what is perhaps the most important shock of the staff bulletins, this 12 months Schumacher has fallen from the A staff to the B staff.

On the developmental staff Michael Earnhart and Zanden McMullen. Earnhart is making his first look on the U.S. Nationwide staff after having a really profitable junior profession.

There are a complete of twenty-two athletes on the staff, which means that almost half of the staff is made up of Alaskan or Alaska-affiliated skiers.

The primary probability to see the Alaskans in motion can be on Nov. 25-27 on the 2022-23 FIS Cross Nation World Cup to be held in Ruka, Finland.
