Ryan Cochran-Siegle defends super-G title at Alpine skiing nationals

The first racer on the course, Cochran-Siegle finished in a time of 1 minute, 6.61 seconds on Friday. He beat Jack Gower of Britain by 0.34 seconds.

Cochran-Siegle won the national event a year ago when it was held at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.

It’s already been quite a week at Sun Valley for Cochran-Siegle, who also won the Alpine combined on Wednesday.

In the women’s super-G race, Nina O’Brien held off teenager AJ Hurt by .11 seconds. O’Brien is coming off a season in which she finished second in the super-G standings on the NorAm circuit. Hurt captured the women’s Alpine combined title two days ago.

Next up is a slalom race on Saturday.
