The Kachemak Nordic Ski Club hosted Besh Cups 3 and 4 on Saturday and Sunday at Lookout Mountain in Homer.

There are six Besh Cup races. They are used to determine teams for Junior Nationals and the Arctic Winter Games, but racers too old for these events also can race the Besh Cups to stay sharp.

Saturday, skiers competed in a freestyle sprint.

The 1.2-kilometer sprint for women’s Under-16 skiers and over was won by Marit Flora of the Alaska Pacific University program. Homer High School’s Autumn Daigle was 44th, while Homer’s Zoe Stonorov was 47th and Soldotna’s Erika Arthur was 48th.

The men’s 1.2-kilometer sprint for Under-16 and over was won by Ari Endestad of the APU program. Soldotna High School’s Bradley Walters was 21st, Kenai Central’s Tyler Hippchen was 40th and Homer masters skier Atz Kilcher was 72nd.
