USBA On-Snow International Team Trial Results
GRP’s Jackie Garso en route to a bronze medal in the Women’s Sprint.
Thursday, December 18 - Sprint
While Craftsbury waits for the other meteorological shoe to drop on Friday, competitors enjoyed a sunny, fast course to kick off their on-snow trials weekend.
Perhaps no competitors enjoyed it more than Grace Castonguay and Vincent Bonacci, your winners today.
Your Day 1 Women’s Podium.
Team SoHo’s Castonguay (0+1) took 17 and 40s respectively from the GRP’s Kelsey Dickinson (0+0) and Jackie Garso (1+1) in taking the win and the early lead in the points calculations for the trials.

Vincent Bonacci (unaffiliated), Vaclav Cervenka (Army WCAP) and Logan Moore (MNC Pro) had near identical first laps coming into their prone stages. Bonacci (0+1) led early and held off the closing Cervenka (2+1) in the end by 12s. Moore’s day (1+3) was a wild ride between great ski speed (winning laps 1 and 2 and finishing 2nd on lap 3 by a second) and some variable shooting.
