Monday was a good day for Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation alpine ski racers competing in this week’s Sun Valley FIS Open Series and National Junior Championship events on Baldy.

Sun Valley's Dasha Romanov won the National Junior women’s giant slalom race by 1.08 seconds over U-19 Sophia Tozzi of the Jackson Hole ski and Snowboard Club. Tozzi had won FIS women’s slalom races Saturday and Sunday.

The SVSEF women’s squad placed four racers in the top eight in Monday’s two-run race with 61 starters and only 34 finishers. They were Marit Kaiser fifth, Carly Walther-Porino seventh and Anhwei Kirk in eighth place overall.
