ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Six Alaskans will be donning the Red, White and Blue later this month at the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway.
One notable addition to this year’s U.S. world championship team is Kendall Kramer, Alaska’s News Source’s reigning Athlete of the Week and one of seven newcomers to the 16-member team.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks standout is one of three 22-year-olds rostered, along with Kate Oldham (Montana State) and Jack Young (Colby College).
Also making the cut were Alaskans Rosie Brennan, Luke Jager, JC Schoonmaker, Gus Schumacher and Zanden McMullen, another newcomer.
“We are very excited to announce our nominations to the Trondheim team,” Chris Grover, the program director of the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team, wrote in a statement. “The team is led by veteran women who bring decades of experience at the World Championships to the tracks of Granåsen.
