ANCHORAGE, Alaska —The 2018 U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships continued Sunday in Anchorage and included some respectable results from Aspen-area athletes.

Aspen’s Noah Hoffman, a World Cup veteran, finished seventh in the tightly-contested men’s 30-kilometer classic with a time of 1 hour, 21 minutes, 46.3 seconds, won in a sprint by Tyler Kornfield, who skis for Alaska Pacific University, in 1:21:43.6.



Hedda Baangman, a native of Sweden who skis for the University of Colorado, won the women’s 20k race.

In Sunday’s junior female 5k classic, Basalt’s Hailey Swirbul finished second in 15:18.3, about 10 seconds behind race winner Hannah Halvorsen. Halvorsen, from Truckee, California, is on the U.S. Ski Team’s ‘D’ team. Swirbul is a sophomore at the University of Alaska-Anchorage.



Racing concludes today with the men’s and women’s classic sprints.
