Durango's Tad Elliot - 2011 US National Nordic Ski Champion

Tad Elliot

Wins the US National 30K

in Rumford, Maine - January 2011

"I kept getting splits and knew I was leading," he said. "But my lead kept dwindling by a couple seconds every time I got a new one. I ended up lunging across the finish line really hard. I crashed and I was able to beat Lars Flora by a tenth of a second. I'm definitely happy."
