SSRA J3 athlete, Jenna Sandvig travelled with the PNSA team to compete in the Western Region J3 Junior Olympics at Sun Valley, ID, March 19-21. The J3 Junior Olympics showcases the fastest ski racers from around the west's five divisions of USSA. Thirteen and fourteen year old athletes from PNSA, Far West, Intermountain, Northern and Alaska converged in southern Idaho to compete head to head in the four day event.

Jenna Sandvig of SSRA returned to the Junior Olympics after competing during the 2002-2003 season in the same event. Last year Jenna got a "taste" of the level of competition. This year, Sandvig stepped up her personal performance and finished exceptionally well, making great improvements over last year.

In the Super G, Jenna finished 29th in what she would refer to as a less-than-perfect run. Nonetheless, this result was a great improvement over her 50th place finish in 2003! In the giant slalom, Sandvig placed even higher clocking the 23rd fastest time overall. Again, Jenna improved over her 2003 giant slalom finish profoundly. In 2003, she finished 55th in the same event, moving up 32 places in 2004!!

Congratulations to Jenna for a great 2004 J3 Junior Olympics! SSRA is proud of you!!
