Harvey and Sargent are FasterSkier Juniors of the Year
Updated: Mon May 05, 2008 5:56 AM MDT  The FasterSkier Junior of the Year is awarded to the top North American Junior skiers of the 2007/2008 season. Junior Skier of the Year (men): Alex Harvey (CAN). Alex finished in the top four in each of the individual events at the World Junior Championships, including taking the silver, 8 seconds off the pace, in the 10km classic race. In the 20km freestyle mass start, he raced in the top pack and was in position to battle for the win with several kilometers to go. He ultimately finished 4th. Alex also raced his first-ever World Cup events. Honorable Mention: Noah Hoffman (USA). Noah finished 12th in the 10km classic race at World Junior Championships, and 23rd in the 20km mass start freestyle – a race in which he broke a ski early in the competition. He also won the Owl Creek Chase – a part of both the SuperTour and the North American Marathon Cup series, in impressive fashion over a loaded field.
