Hannah Kearney (Norwich, Vt.) won a World Cup moguls event for the second straight day on Saturday, claiming a dual moguls victory in Are, Sweden.
U.S.teammate Shannon Bahrke (Tahoe City, Calif.) was second in the event.
"I feel fantastic. With it being the first dual, that's always a different ballgame. To win that as well as being able to win singles is really satisfying," Kearney said in a U.S. Ski Team press release.
For the first duals of the season, Kearney was happy to be able to not only win, but show her consistency.
"Duals is a tough thing to win because you have to ski five races in a day and that's a tribute to my consistency. I did have some mistakes, but I competed through them and that's what makes it duals," Kearneysaid.
Kearney went head-to-head with teammate Bahrke, who had an incredible day, save for a wipeout when skiing in the final with the winner.
"I had a great day. I had some tough skiers that I had to go up against and I really skied the best that I have," Bahrke said. "I blew out against Hannah, which is kind of a bummer, but I skied well and I'm really happy with second."
On the men’s side, Joe Discoe (Farmington, Maine) was eighth, Dave DiGravio (Farmington, Maine) was 15th, David Babic (Washington, Vt.) was 22nd, Michael Morse (Duxbury, Mass.) was 34th and Jeremy Cota (Carrabassett Valley, Maine) was 37th.
