CXC Team Vertical Limit’s Tad Elliot finishes 2nd!

Tad Elliot (CXC Team Vertical Limit), 2nd Place

Well, day two of US Nationals is over.  We had a few steller performances, including Tad Elliot finishing 2nd place, Matt Liebsch finishing 4th, and Brian Gregg also in the top 10.  Caitlin Compton pulled off 2nd place, and Rebecca Dussualt was top 10.

It was a rough day for lots of us on the CXC Team Vertical Limit.  We’ve been fighting to stay healthy and many people were not 100% including Coach Fish who managed to get us rocket, fast skis while enduring the terrible stomach bug.  No matter the results, everyone left their hearts on the trail and skied their hardest.  We are dissapointed, but I am very proud to say that we are mostly smiles back at the hotel and we’re focused on the rest of the week of racing.

Full Results are available HERE.

I had a  decent day qualifing 14th and finishing about the same place after the heats.  I was a close 3rd place in my quarterfinal and just missed the last “lucky loser” spot.  I didn’t feel awesome, but was glad to finish as well as I did after a tough battle with a 24 hour stomach flu two days before the race.
