Cross Country Team Golds
By Juliann Fritz // U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association // January 7, 2008
HOUGHTON, Mich. (Jan. 6) - Andy Newell (Shaftsbury, VT) and Torin Koos (Leavenworth, WA), victimized a year ago by equipment problems, made up for it Sunday as they won the team sprint gold medal at the U.S. Cross Country Championships. Lindsey Dehlin (Mahtomedi, MN) and Lindsay Williams (Hastings, MN) won the women's team sprint in a big upset.
World Cup veterans Newell and Koos were favorites at the 2007 championships but Koos became tangled during a tag and eventually his binding ripped out. Lars Flora (Anchorage, AK) and Chad Giese (St. Paul, MN) rolled to the gold medal.
