Lamontagne, a junior from Mont Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada, finished second just .04-seconds behind Utah’s Kaila Lafreniere.
Montana State's Justine Lamontagne and Isak Staurset each recorded top five finishes in giant slalom as the alpine portion of the MSU Invitational started Monday morning with giant slalom at Bridger Bowl.
Due to course conditions, the women's giant slalom was limited to one run. Lamontagne, a junior from Mont Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada, finished second just .04-seconds behind Utah's Kaila Lafreniere.
One turn on the women's course was deemed too dangerous midway through the second run. Rules stipulate that first run results can be used for the purposes of RMISA team, NCAA Qualification, etc., even though it is not an official FIS race.
Also, scoring points for the Bobcat women were Ylva Falksete, sixth, 44.80, and Tea Kiesel, 15th, 45.62. Mackenzie Greenslade placed 27th in 47:27.
The men's course was on the other side of the hill, so it wasn't affected. Utah's John Harland posted a two-run winning time of 1:25.85.
Senior Isak Staurset paced the MSU men finishing fifth with a two-run total of 1:26.58. Staurset, a product of Andalnes, Norway, had the third fastest opening run in 40.93.
Gianluca Boehm, eighth, 1:26.75, and Tanner Perkins, 12th, 1:26.92, also produced points. Boehm clocked the fourth fastest second run in 44.68.
Luc Dalton placed 36th overall in 1:30.69, while Jamie Casselman was unable to complete his second run.
After three events, Utah remained atop the team standings with 582 points. The Utes are followed by Colorado 466, Denver 452, MSU 351, Alaska Anchorage 344, Alaska Fairbanks 148, Westminster 96, Nevada 83, and Colorado Mountain 71.
The MSU Invitational concludes Tuesday morning with slalom races.
