Cannava, Goodrich win Homer Skiathlon

Soldotna’s Ariana Cannava and Homer’s Jody Goodrich won the Homer Skiathlon on Friday at Ohlson Mountain just outside of Homer.

In the skiathlon, athletes started with a 5-kilometer skate that included an uphill that is 1K long. Skiers then took a brief run to their classic gear, then finished with 2.5K in that technique.

Cannava finished the skate loop at 15 minutes, 1 seconds, to create almost 40 seconds of gap on the field.
