Colby Granstrom captures slalom crown at nationals (AP)


WINTER PARK, Colo. (AP)—Colby Granstrom broke up Tommy Ford’s monopoly at U.S. championships, winning the slalom with an excellent final run in snowy conditions.

Julia Mancuso couldn’t add to her career mark of 13 U.S. titles, skiing off the course on the first run in the women’s race Sunday. She won the super-G and giant slalom earlier this week.

Granstrom, of Lake Stevens, Wash., cruised through a technical course in a combined time of 1 minute, 42.67 seconds, beating Ford by 1.33 seconds. Seppi Stiegler took third on the mushy course.

The day was still a success for Ford. He captured the crown in the combined, which meshes the times from the super-G that Ford won Saturday and the slalom. Ford has won six national titles in the last two years.
