As the rest of the US ski team is in quite a lull, I cannot say the same for Lindsay Vonn. This girl tore apart the competition in Lake Louise this past week. She won one of the two training runs, while Maria Holaus won the other two. What counts in the races, Lindsay Vonn won the first race by a staggering .5 seconds over Canadian, Emily Brydon. Maria Riesch, almost a full second off Vonns time. 20 year old, Alice McKennis, was 2nd for the US in 18th. Other US finishers were Stacey Cook, Chelsea Marshall, Leanne Smith and Laurenne Ross. 6 finishers for the womens side on the first day as opposed to 1 or 2 for the men. Once Again, the second day leader was Lindsay Vonn of the US. 1.7 seconds off Vonn was 20 year old Alice Mckennis on her way to her best season ever in 10th place. Stacey Cook was 11th right off Alice's mark by .01 seconds and Julia Mancuso just .09 off Stacey in 12th. Leanne Smith of North Conway, NH was 23rd, Chelsea Marshall of Pittsfield, VT was 25th. Laurenne Ross rounded up the US women in 34th. On the third day of racing at Lake Louise, Lindsay Vonn had another stellar race. She was edged out of first by Austrian Elizabeth Goergl by .03 seconds. Third place was Ingrid Jacquemod of France. As for the other Americans... all 8 finished once again with Keeley Kelleher in 20th, Chelsea Marshall 32nd, Alice Mckennis 38th, Leanne Smith 40th, Julia Mancuso 41st, and Stacey Cook 42nd.
