The native of Fairbanks, Alaska posted a clocking of 1:18.31 in the 30-kilometer classic race.

Noah Hoffman, a member of the US National Team, won the event in 1:17:48.
The 30-kilometer race capped off an outstanding week for Norris, who also placed seventh in the 15K skate and eighth in the sprint race on Tuesday.
