Joe Discoe (Telluride, Colo.) won his third U.S. title Saturday in the dizzying dual moguls competition at the Sprint U.S. Freestyle Championships at Heavenly Mountain Resort.

In the women’s duals, Sophia Schwartz (Sun Valley, Idaho) won her first U.S. Championship title on the soft course at Heavenly.

Local favorite Sho Kashima (Stateline) took silver, along with Mikaela Mathews (Frisco, Colo.). Dylan Walczyk (Breckenridge, Colo.) and defending U.S. Champion K.C. Oakley (Piedmont) took home the bronze medals.

World Cup winner Hannah Kearney (Norwich, Vt.) and teammate Heather McPhie (Bozeman, Mont.) didn’t compete in the dual moguls event.

Brothers Bradley and Bryon Wilson (Butte, Mont.) also chose not to compete after Bradley took his first U.S. Champs title in the singles moguls on Friday.

Due to incoming weather, officials moved up the dual moguls event from Sunday to Saturday to prevent delays or cancellations.

Saturday began as a beautiful California day, with the frozen course softening throughout the day. Clouds arrived in the afternoon.

The really large jumps lent to big crashes, upsets and an all-around exciting competition.
