Nakiska, AB (March 7, 2010) - The CresaPartners K2 Jay Cup wrapped up today with a final slalom event to determine who would hold the overall series championship titles.

Megan Henkelman (KASC-NASA) took top spot in the ladies event, while Jenna McIntyre (LKLSE) finished second and Hilary Shirra (SUNSH) third.

It was a Banff Alpine Ski Racers sweep in the men's category, with the first three positions going to Jeffrey Putnam, Devon Hawkins, and Mike Gillespie respectively.

"The Jay Cup was an excellent event as usual," said Alberta Alpine's High Performance Director, Jim Davis.

I would also like to thank the Calgary Alpine Racing Club and all the hardworking volunteers that made this weekend such a success."
