Snowboarders – USASA National Championships – days 5+6
Day 5
Grommet Girls – Halfpipe:
Anna Valentine – 5th place
Kiersten Edwards – 6th place
Breaker Boys – Boardercross:
Colton Gray – 19th place after an amazing pass to get in third place in the first heat. In the last two turns, Colton turned early and passed the third place rider and was barely holding on. As they came over the last two jumps their boards were hitting each other and then Colton fell in front of the other rider to garner third. In his next heat he got left behind, but that first heat will be indelibly imprinted in my memory.
Day 6
Grommet Girls – Slopestyle:
Kiersten Edwards – 3rd place
Anna Valentine – 5th place
For those who compete in all 5 events there is an Overall award given and let me tell you this is well deserved, because doing all events is exhausting.
Kiersten Edwards has received the 2nd place Overall award this year for the Group 2 Grommet Girls.
