The two were eliminated in the semifinals by one-half second.
"Laura and I continue to improve on our results as a team and look forward to returning to Liberec next year for the 2009 World Championships," Randall wrote in an e-mail to the Daily News.
Randall also wrote that she and Valaas finished seventh in their heat, but the fourth-place team in the second heat edged them out of a spot in the finals.
Overall the APU skiers finished 13th.
Next on the World Cup schedule is Falun, Sweden, next weekend.
