“Brooke skied with a lot of fire today and I'm really proud of her effort,” said Saints coach, Chad Salmela. “Brooke has had a rough patch of racing, and all I wanted to see was some fire and some fight, and she had that today in a very tough field of skiers. It was a good forward step for her going into the remainder of the season.”
