Lowe, a junior at Monroe High School, placed in four different events at the U.S. Alpine Championships held March 21-26 in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Lowe, who competes for the Mount Bachelor Sports Education Foundation based in Bend, Oregon, was competing at the National Championships for the first time. Her top performance came in the Super G, where she placed 13th. She also placed 18th in the Alpine Combined, 25th in the Giant Slalom and 33rd in the Slalom.
Prior to that Lowe was named to the Pacific Northwest Ski Association Alpine Team, which is made up of the top skiers from Washington, Oregon and North Idaho. With that team she won the Super G at the Western Region Junior Championships held March 15-16 at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in North Idaho.
Lowe’s competitive season continues through May.
