Kate Oldham, a senior at Montana State University, claimed victory in the women's 10K freestyle race at the U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships. Despite having no competitive races this winter, Oldham's training paid off, allowing her to secure the win. The race, held at Kincaid Park in Anchorage, featured interval starts, with racers competing against the clock.

Oldham said she enjoys being home for the holidays and opted to take a break and train independently once classes let out for the semester in Bozeman. Oldham raced previously at Kincaid in high school and at RMISA Regionals during college. She also trained with APU over the summer for six weeks. “In the fall, me and Rosie, we just do our intensity running twice a week, and then the rest of sessions are skiing, and that’s how we balance it,” she said. “And so that’s what my fall was, which was different from a typical skier fall, but I think kept me even more in shape and kept me fresh. I’m super glad we could both have carried it into the ski season.”
“I am grateful to be not alone at the top and have so many awesome athletes around me,” she said. “That was really impressive by Kate. I’m grateful and she totally deserves it.”
