Burns looked up at the clock after Timm's run and saw that she edged her out by just one hundredth of a second. She had also held off Mattson by 0.23 seconds.

Martus took 36th in the giant slalom.

Burns' first and third place finishes in the two events were enough for her to claim the coveted individual title by a little more than one entire second, edging out Timm in second place and McCord in third.

Martus finished in 24th place combined and Steeh and Emily McNabb both finished in the top 50 with their combined times.

That was good enough to earn the West Linn girls sixth place as a team.

For the boys, the competition began with the giant slalom.

West Linn's Ramsey turned in the fastest time of the afternoon with his first run and found himself in the lead by just six hundredths of a second.

But, in the second run, Hood River's Colton Swearingen finished ahead of him and Ramsey took a close second.

Sean Campbell finished in 27th for the Lions in the giant slalom.

Then, in the slalom, Ramsey turned in a seventh place performance while AJ Glass took 21st and Campbell finished in 28th respectively for the Lions.

Ramsey's individual times earned him third place overall in the combined event and the West Linn boys took fourth place as a team.

The combined girls and boys teams finished in sixth out of 13 qualifying teams and West Linn was the highest placer from the Three Rivers League.
