"Vermont native Sophie Caldwell won a World Cup in Germany on Tuesday, becoming the first U.S. woman in history to win a World Cup in the cross-country skiing classic sprint.
"Caldwell narowly edged out the other two skiers in the final, and her New England roots might have been the deciding factor in the race.
"Caldwell is used to skiing in less-than-perfect conditions.
"She grew up in Peru, Vermont, in a family that includes a former coach for the U.S. Olympic cross country ski team."
Vermont Public Radio recently reported on Ms. Caldwell's achievement.
