Today the mountain bike team competed in the race #2 of the Virginia Area High School Mountain Bike League. With a reduced squad the boys knew every finish would count towards our team total. As such, each guy gritted their teeth and finished the race. Certainly the hardest race to date with Varsity completing 18 miles w. 2400' ft of elevation and JV doing 9 miles w. 1200' feet during the race (finish times ranging between 1 hour 20min and 2 hour and 10min). Top performing athletes for the team were Justin Mitchell and Woody Liles on Varsity and Ryan Tilgner and Alex Kronguard for JV.
Highlights:
- Justin Mitchell: Top 10 Varsity
- Woody Liles: Huge effort with a really strong Varsity finish
- Ray Wu: Gutted it out for his first JV finish!!!
- Alex Kronguard: only minutes behind Ryan Tilger.
- Ryan Tilgner: Top 20 JV.
We will know more details when the race results are posted on Monday. In the meantime check out http://wfsoutdooreducation.blogspot.com/ for pictures and congratulate the ten guys who traveled on a job well done. Just finishing this race was a huge success!
