Nordic Titles On Line At Lake Creek After a wet and snowy Saturday for the U.S. National men’s 50-kilometer classic race, the women were pleasantly surprised to find sunny skies Sunday morning at Lake Creek for the national women’s 30k classic event. These four women leading the field up a climb turned out to be the top four finishers. They are, from left, Jessie Diggins of Minnesota (No. 6) skiing alongside eventual runner-up Maria Graefnings of the University of Utah, and, in front from left, fourth-place finisher Morgan Arritola of Ketchum (No. 5) and race winner Kikkan Randall (No. 1).
