Nelson
DISCIPLINE: Alpine
TEAM: C Team
HOMETOWN: Wayzata, MN
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: I had a really solid year that has set me up with a fixed World Cup start spot in all events after winning the Noram Overall Title. I'm planning to use this spot to start all the GS WC's and some Super-G's. I also was able to get some really good FIS points in GS and Sg, so I believe I will be starting maybe late 30's in GS and SG this season, which is going to be very helpful. In 2022, I also won the Junior World Championship Super-G.
