CABLE, Wis. (csssaints.com) – Paul Schommer (Appleton, Wis./Kimberly HS) matched his 15km freestyle performance from Saturday with a third place CCSA finish in the men's 10km classic race Sunday at the Telemark Chase, finishing in at time of 27:43.6. Schommer has been on the podium in three consecutive CCSA races.

Alaska's Michael Fehrenbach edged Northern Michigan's Kyle Bratrud by a mere 1.4 seconds to win in a time of 27:12.7, to Bratrud's 27:14.1.

Senior John Wessling (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS) popped his best CCSA finish with a complete field, finishing eighth in a time of 28:21.7.  Junior Chris Parr (Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS) continues to ski impressively, finishing 11th in 28:47.3, to round out the Saints scoring. 

Alaska won the team event with 78 points, Northern Michigan finished second with 68, and the Saints finished third on the day with 63 points. The Saints men finished third for the weekend behind both teams, in the same order.

"This was a really great performance today," glowed Saints head coach Chad Salmela. "John popped into form and we've just been waiting for it after a stellar fall training year. Paul continues to race at the front of the conference and Chris has never been so consistent. We also saw great performances from deep in the team, so I'm very satisfied today as the coach."

The Saints race Friday at Mt. Itasca in a CCSA 10km classic NCAA qualifier.
