Breckenridge's Uhlaender Wins 2nd Overall Skeleton Title

Breckenridge's own Katie Uhlaender has won her second overall World Cup Skeleton title after she won the bronze medal in the World Cup finale in Winterberg, Germany, on February 9th.

Ulaender started the heat with a track-record of 59.35 seconds, all but to sit and watch the record beaten by her next four opponents. Not down and out however, Ulaender bested her previous time with a time of 59.27, the second best time of the competition. Her combined time put her in 3rd, beating out Canadian Michelle Kelly.

This win has brought Ulaender's overall medal count to 6 for this winter season, and the third place win has put Ulaender in first place in the overall points battle in World Skeleton for this season.
