The Park City, Utah resident finished in a tie for 23rd place in the singles race. Her teammates did not compete as Emily Sweeney, of Lake Placid and Summer Britcher, of Glen Rock, Pennsylvania and Lake Placid, sat out the event.

Sweeney rested her neck this week and will return for the season finale in St. Moritz. Britcher, meanwhile, broke a finger last weekend in Sigulda and cannot start comfortably. She did take one training run and entered the Nations Cup, but without the ability to accelerate the sled at the start by paddling with her spiked gloves, her efforts were hampered.

All three American women will be nominated to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee for official inclusion in the upcoming Beijing Winter Games. The Opening Ceremony is less than 20 days away.

For Sunday’s final race — the team relay — USA Luge was out of the lineup with no doubles teams on site. The same will occur next weekend at the final team relay in St. Moritz.

Olympic nominees Zack DiGregorio, of Medway, Massachusetts, and Sean Hollander, of Lake Placid, the lone U.S. doubles sled headed to Beijing, are getting many training runs in Park City for the next two weeks. They are using a Jayson Terdiman sled which they believe will afford them more speed. Terdiman, a two-time Olympian from Berwick, Pennsylvania and Lake Placid, is on-site with them, along with Head Coach Robert Fegg and local women’s team member Brittney Arndt.

DiGregorio/Hollander won the winner-take-all Nations Cup tiebreaker in Sigulda as none of the three teams had secured a qualification tier.

Dana Kellogg, of Chesterfield, Massachusetts, and doubles partner Duncan Segger, of Lake Placid, have returned home to continue training at Mount Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid. Terdiman, with his frontman Chris Mazdzer, of Salt Lake City, Utah and formerly of Saranac Lake, were eliminated from Olympic consideration with an unexpected race-off crash in the Sigulda Nations Cup.

On the season, the Americans scored World Cup silver and bronze in the team relay.
