Adeline’s from SPSC, and Anna’s from the Minneapolis Ski Club. They gained valuable experience on this hill, the size of the Olympic “large hill” venues. They met the first woman to jump from this hill, Iron Mountain’s Therese Altobelli Seda, who flew in the late 1970s. The Central Division’s award for best junior female jumper is named for Therese Altobelli; Adeline won that award in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

When the snow settled on the 2023 Junior National Championships, St. Paul Ski Club’s athletes, Adeline Swanson and Jacob Larson, were all smiles. Both of them had some big jumps on Itasca’s 70m hill. Adeline had a little trouble landing her hers during the individual competition, but they were long enough to land her in second place on the podium in the U20 Women’s class. Jacob, competing in his first ever Junior Nationals, improved on each round and ended up 7th in a very competitive U16 Boys class. During the team competition, Adeline and Sandra Sproch (Norge), wowed the crowd with jumps past the K point as they took first place in the Women’s Team Event. Jacob, teamed up with veteran Central jumpers, Maxim Glyvka (Norge), Isaac Nichols (Norge), and Nathan Krotz (Minneapolis). Jacob had a monster jump during the second round to keep Central in the hunt. In the end, the team took second place over all. Later in the day, both St. Paul jumpers competed in the elimination jump. Jacob was edged out by his competition early in round one. Adeline, however, was able to find her groove and consistently landed each of her jumps past K to propel her to the final round. It was the first time she’d made it to the final four and she was definitely happy to end the week with some great jumps. Adeline and Jacob were not just teammates, but mentor/mentee as well. Jacob was the first jumper Adeline coached at St. Paul Ski Club’s Wally Wakefield Learn to Jump Camp to make it to Junior Nationals. They both have a bright future in ski jumping and represent St. Paul, and the sport, very well. Congratulations Adeline and Jacob! -- 3/13/23 Sue Swanson Dave Edlund Memorial Tourney Fri Feb 24 It was a wonderful evening honoring Dave; what a great turn out!
