Race Report #1: Minooka Mania

Image

Year 2 of Shorewood MTB found us back again for another perfect, late-summer race day at Minooka Park in Waukesha. The Wisconsin League has been growing steadily and sent twice as many racers to the start line as last year. Over 220 student-athletes representing 26 teams from all over the state converged on these beautiful, flowing singletrack and ski trails for a demanding but fun kickoff to our second season.

 

The team has been working hard all summer (and off-season) to prepare for this moment and it paid off in some very impressive results across the board. The Hounds managed to get 4 different riders onto the podium for their respective races, and stormed into Second Place for the Team Competition! The Team and Individual competitions were very tightly-contested so it's going to be exciting to watch these rivalries develop as the season moves on.

 

A special shot-out to Aidan, Charlie G., Eli, Jack, Scott and Zane for competing and ALL finishing in their very first NICA mountain bike race! See below for detailed race results and photos from the event...
