It was another day of jumping domination for Anders Johnson and the U.S. ski jumping team's Lindsey Van, both Park City residents. Each took in their second win of the weekend when the 2008 U.S. Championships made way for a SuperTour event in Lake Placid.

"I had pretty good jumps today. I was really psyched," Van said. "It feels good to have two wins and have the consistency coming back."

Van, who took home her 13th national title on Saturday, said that while she still has some fine-tuning to do, the second win has her excited with the way things are working out.

"My jumps aren't as random they were, and I know where I can go," Van said. "There's definitely room for improvement, but I am psyched with the two wins and how it's working out so far."

According to Johnson, who won his second national title on Saturday, jumping conditions on Sunday made for a perfect competition.

"I had better jumps today. All three rounds I had longer distances and less winds, so I felt like today was actually better than yesterday so I am very excited about how it went," Johnson said.
