The NMU men's nordic ski team participated in the 1.4k classic sprint event at the US Cross Country Ski National Championships in Anchorage, Alaska. The competition began with a qualification race involving 218 skiers, which was narrowed down to five quarter-final brackets of six racers each, taking the top 30 skiers from qualifying. The field was then reduced to 12 for the semi-finals before selecting the final six for the finals.

Kristoffer Karsrud advanced to the semi-finals, racing in the second semifinal bracket and recording a time of 3:05.58. He reached the semi-finals with a quarterfinal time of 2:59.87 and a qualification time of 3:05.93.

Luke Fricker narrowly missed qualification, finishing in 35th place with a time of 3:07.34. Hendrik Peterson and Jonathan Clarke finished consecutively with times of 3:17.74 and 3:18.03, respectively, while Adrik Kraftson completed his run with a time of 3:21.10.

The team now prepares for tomorrow's race in the 20k mass start classic event.
