Over the last two weekends, Team Summit Colorado has sent several athletes to competitive, national freestyle skiing competitions.

Ten Team Summit mogul skiers competed in the 2024 U.S. Freestyle Junior National Championships at Utah Olympic Park in Park City, Utah, from March 14-17.

In order to attend the junior national championships at the end of the season, athletes had to compete at divisional competitions throughout the winter in order to accumulate points towards the national competition. The top 40% of skiers in the nation are invited to the championship event, which included 22 ski clubs across the nation.

Competing in their respective gender and age-class divisions, Team Summit was able to place within the top 10 in 11 out of the 20 total competitions at this year’s junior national championships.

Leading the way for the team was Annika Broecker in the U17 competition who placed second overall in the single moguls and ninth in the dual moguls.

In the U15 division, Arabella Agee took fourth in the singles and 10th in the dual moguls while Kayla Broecker finished fifth in the singles and dual moguls.

Kyla Salthouse followed Kayla Broecker in the U15 division, taking seventh in the singles and eighth in the dual moguls with Francesca Timpone placing 34th in the U15 singles and ninth in the dual moguls.

In the men’s competition, Chase Atherton earned third in the U15 singles and 14th in the U15 dual moguls. Atherton was followed in the U15 competition by Canyon Cupp and Taylor Dean. Cupp placed 12th (singles) and 31st (dual), and Dean took 16th (singles) and seventh (dual). Kemper Wheeler finished in 21st (singles) and 63rd (dual) and Alexander Walters placed 33rd (singles) and 38th (dual).

The following weekend from Friday, March 22 through Sunday, March 24, Agee, Dean, Atherton and Annika Broecker all traveled to Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, in order to compete at the 2024 U.S. Freestyle National Championships.

With the top 60 athletes in the nation earning invites, including the seven-member U.S. Ski Team, the event pinned the best amateur and professional mogul skiers against one another.

Broecker once again led the way for Team Summit, placing 18th in the singles and 34th in the dual moguls while Agee followed in 31st (singles) and 25th (dual).

In the men’s competition, Atherton took 46th (singles) and 52nd (duals) while Dean took 48th (singles) and 12th (dual).
