Jan. 20, 2008

MARQUETTE, MI- Marius Korthauer once again earned the top spot at the NTN Trails, winning the men's 15K classic race over Northern Michigan's Phil Violett. Korthauer actually trailed the Wildcat racer by over seven seconds with just two kilometers to go, but the German turned it on late to grab a 1.1 second victory.

Fellow senior Vahur Teppan grabbed fourth place overall, third among collegiate skiers. Andy Schnitzer rounded out the Nanooks top three with a 17th place finish.

On the women's side, Aurelia Korthauer took the bronze with a third-place finish, crossing the line just behind a pair of NMU racers. Nanook redshirt Julia Coulter took fourth, while Elisabeth Habermann and Anna Coulter came in 12th and 17th respectively among collegiate skiers.
