MIDWAY, Utah -- Nerves woke Lawton Redman before dawn Thursday, but he settled down in time to win his second race of the U.S. biathlon trials and secure a berth on the Olympic team.

Redman won the 10-kilometer sprint in 26 minutes, 50.5 seconds, and missed just one of 20 targets on the rolling Soldier Hollow course 40 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, where the Olympic races will be held.

"I was a little nervous," Redman said. "I wanted to ski a good race."

	Jill Krause takes a moment to reflect after her victory at the biathlon trials on Thursday. Krause's win was not enough to earn an Olympic bid.

Redman moved from Florence, Vt., to Heber City, Utah, in the fall of 2000 to train for the Winter Games.

Jay Hakkinen, of Kasilof, Alaska, also locked up a berth with his second-place finish in 27:12.6, as did Jeremy Teela, of Anchorage, Alaska, who was third in 27:23.1. Dan Campbell, of Hastings, Minn., took the fourth and final spot, and Dan Westover of Jericho, Vt., and David Gieck of Jackson, Wyo., were selected as alternates.

On the women's side, Jill Krause, of St. Cloud, Minn., won the final 7.5-kilometer race on the Olympic course, but her effort came too late to land her on the team. Barring official changes, Rachel Steer of Anchorage, Kara Salmela of Duluth, Mich., Andrea Nahrgang, of Wayzalta, Minn., and Kristina Sabasteanski, of Standish, Maine, will comprise the women's team at the games.

The athletes arrived a little more than a month before the Salt Lake Games open on Feb. 8. The biathlon trials presented a dilemma to the top athletes, who geared their training so they would peak athletically in February, while lower-ranked racers hoped to peak for the trials.

"It's a relief. These trials are really stressful," Teela said. "We're really about 85 percent of our capacity while others are 100 percent. There are two different groups of people with two different goals -- people who want to compete for (Olympic) medals and people who just want to make the Olympic team."
