Kelly Clark Finishes a Perfect TTR Season at the US Open
Kelly Clark has won every single TTR halfpipe competition she entered this season and did not disappoint here at the Burton US Open. Kelly was going huge in the pipe, as always, and set a new bar in women's snowboarding with a run that consisted of a frontside 900, backside 540, frontside 1080 and finished off with a Cab 720. With her win today, Kelly banked 1000 Swatch TTR World Ranking points, which allowed her to finish in the TTR World No. 2 position. Kelly was stoked on her win saying, "Today was an amazing day, I did not expect it to be this good after a week of poor weather and limited practice, but I was able to come out and put down the runs that I wanted to do and walk away with another US Open win." She continued to comment on the final TTR rankings for the season saying, "I'm so happy Jamie had such an incredible season. I'm so stoked for her being World Champ. Getting on the podium, I'm happy with that." Coming in second place in the halfpipe was Hannah Teter (USA) and Gretchen Bleiler (USA) took third.
