Hello U12 and U10 Families,
Hope you are well and enjoying the week. This is update #1 – mostly to remind U12 families to register for the Tri-Council races if they’d like their athletes to race! There will be no at home training for U12 boys on Saturday or U12 girls on Sunday so we can support the races.
A big congrats to all of our U12s and U10s who raced on Sunday. There were some amazing results and a lot of fun was had – plus the U10s brought home the Golden Helmet, the MVC Team Award, and that means it stays with us for the summer!! Results for the U10s at Pico are linked HERE and the Willard and Magic results are attached to this email. Willard was a typical race, Magic was each athlete’s best time from each course combined to rank for awards. Please note that the Meisterschaft overall awards were given based on the sum of place points between the two days, so if an athlete was first at Willard and 5th at Magic, they had 6 place points. Lowest points won the overall. I do not have a sheet showing the overall rankings, but you can do the math with the attachments :)!
Important reminder: The U12 Tri-Council format has changed to a regular GS race – nothing will change about your athletes’ registrations.
