Here are a few pics from Scott Hurst. The first picture is of Elijah Kugath coming through the start/finish corridor. The picture on the singletrack is of Morgan Hurst. Two photos of Ketti Christensen and Emma Hurst, one on the podium (both of them wearing the "Strong Jersey" which is awarded to the 1st place finisher for the day, Emma having earned hers at the previous race) and the other photo of both of them standing with their medals, Then the photo of Morgan on the podium and last the two Hurst girls, both with their bling.
Upper Valley Composite MTB Team went to Galena with 30 registered racers, ranging in age from 6th grade up to 12th. The course was a favorite of almost everyone that rode it. It climbed around 500 feet, with almost all of the uphill being a double track, before topping out and turning into fast and flowy singletrack all the way back down to the starting gate.
The UVC kids, made up of students from Madison and Sugar City school districts, stacked up very well against the competition. We were proud to finish the day with 3 athletes in the top 10 of the JV Boys field, those athletes were Dugan Merrill, Kelton Williams, and Hunter Brown. Morgan Hurst rode well enough to earn herself a 3rd place and podium finish in the JV girls, a field of over 30 tough chicas. Other podium finishers were John Zenger, who got 5th in a mean Sophomore boys category, and Ketti Christensen and Emma Hurst, who pushed each other and placed 1st and 2nd respectively in the Middle School B category.
Everyone that attended rode well and put in a good effort and we came away with an 8th place team finish for the day, and an overall series standing of 8th out of 22 teams. Of the teams on the Eastern side of the state we trail only Highland High School.
