SHE ENDED UP as our No. 1, but Kimberley García (formally García Leon) had anything but an all-conquering season. When she got to Eugene she had only a single win in her 4-race 20K season. But on the biggest day she was ready, walking to a 34-second margin of victory in the WC. Her first No. 1 goes with a pair of previous Rankings: No. 7 in ’17 and No. 9 in ’18…
ALL-TIME POINTS LEADER Hong Liu scored for the twelfth time, dating back to ’06… The U.S. has still never had a scorer in the event… Olympic champ Antonella Palmisano sat out the year with a hip problem.
