LAKE PLACID — In what’s become a tradition in Lake Placid — home of the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games — the state Olympic Regional Development Authority once again hosted a summertime ski jumping competition at the Olympic Jumping Complex — the Star-Spangled Ski Jump event — on Sunday, July 2.

Athletes jumped off the 100-meter hill first before competing on the 128-meter hill. With 10 males and one female competing on the 100-meter hill, Maxim Glyvka — jumping for Norge Ski Club — took first place in the event. Anna Zigman, of Minneapolis, was the lone female jumper on the 100- and 128-meter hills. The other male jumpers on the 100-meter hill were Caleb Zuckerman of Ford Sayre (second place), Nathan Krotz of Minneapolis (third), Henry Loher of the New York Ski Educational Foundation (fourth), Timothy Ziegler of Paul Smith’s College (fifth), Max Fey of NYSEF (sixth), Duncan Van Dorn of NYSEF (seventh), Eli Larkin of NYSEF (eighth), Jack Kroll of NYSEF (ninth) and Will Coffin (10th).

On the 128-meter hill, Tate Frantz of NYSEF took first place, followed by Glyvka, Zuckerman, Krotz, Loher, Van Dorn, Kroll, Larkin and Fey.

Starting at $1.44/week.
