NOVE MESTO, Czech Republic — Center Conway’s Sean Doherty and Susan Dunklee (Barton, Vt.) combined to give the United States its first medal in the single mixed relay since 2017 as the BMW IBU World Cup wrapped up two weeks of competition in Nove Mesto on Sunday. Dunklee was part of the previous podium appearance as well when she teamed up with Lowell Bailey for a silver medal four years ago.

Dunklee led the pack after a perfect first prone stage with Switzerland's Elisa Gasparin and Sweden's Linn Persson right behind. With the wind swirling, Dunklee needed three spares to get through the standing stage of the opening leg and made the first exchange with Doherty in sixth place, but just 11.8 seconds off the lead.
