Swanson sprints to short track win

In the elite men's short track, two groups were established after a few laps on the rolling and twisting course which included some ski trails and a trip up the "back bowl" with a short, steep pitch up to the top.

The front group of Doug Swanson, Brendan Moore, TJ Woodruff, Sam and Eric Oftedahl, Cam Kirkpatrick and Jack Hinkens was chased by a second group of Jason Wenk, Jake Richards, Dave Oachs and Paul Hanson.

Jay "Hollywood" Henderson who was in the front group early on, drifted to no man's land and then worked with the second group in the later part of the race.

In the final laps, a group of five did battle with Swanson taking the win. Woodruff, Moore, Kirkpatrick and Hinkens followed, respectively.

Swanson proclaimed in the post race interview, "Everyone took nice pulls at the front, and I sat in the last few laps before making my move on the last lap. Brendan's Moore slight mishap on the last climb up in the back bowl didn't alter the lines."

"Even though I had a slight washout, I knew it would be tough to beat Dough in a sprint," said Moore.
