Lourdes' Anna Peikert excels at national meet, is a cross-country skiing All-American

MIDWAY, Utah — Anna Peikert had something specific in mind.

The Lourdes senior was giving herself a decent chance of achieving it as she competed in the Junior National Cross Country Ski Championships.

The event was March 10-15 at breathtaking Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah, the course surrounded by mountains.

Peikert’s aspiration was heady stuff. Her desire was to walk away from the competition an All-American, a distinction going to the top 10 finishers in any of the event’s races, the 18-year-old Peikert competing in the under-20 bracket.

Consider it done.
