Owens on track

NSWIS ski cross athlete Jenny Owens has put her season back on track after an eighth place finish at the St Johann world cup event in Austria over the weekend.

Owens had set sights of finishing the world cup season in the top 10 but had suffered setbacks to that goal after two disappointing finishes in the first two competitions.

However, Owen’s third competition in Austria provided a timely reminder to her competitors that she is still one to watch after knee surgery last year, making the small final to finish eighth overall.

Owens did not record a top 10 finish during last year’s world cup season and is now ranked 13th with eight world cup legs to race.
