The US American national teams in men's and women's Ski Jumping were announced by USA Nordic on Tuesday.
Besides Kevin Bickner, who took a break from competing last winter, Erik Belshaw, Decker Dean, Patrick Gasienica, Casey Larson, and Andrew Urlaub were named to the men's national team. As in the previous years, the two Canadians Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes and Matthew Soukup will be part of the training group also for the 2021/22 season.
Annika Belshaw, Jillian Highfill, Anna Hoffmann, Paige Jones, Cara Larson, Nina Lussi, Samantha Macuga, and Logan Sankey are on the women's national team.
The two junior teams consist of Jason Colby, Hunter Gibson, Stewart Gundry, Shane Kocher, and Landon Lee as well as Rachael Haerter, Josie Johnson, Elise Loescher, Macey Olden, and Adeline Swanson.
Athletes will have the option of accepting nominations prior to the 2021-22 season. The final teams for the season will be named this fall.
“Our team nominations include a wide range of veterans across our national teams, but some great up-and-coming athletes on the junior teams. It was especially challenging this year with ever-changing schedule changes and cancelations", said USA Nordic Sports Director Jed Hinkley.
