SSRA women were paced by McKinley Guenzel who finished 24th in each race. Jessica Berge notched a 28th & 20th place result. Kayla Uplinger scored a 29th and a 21st. Josie Ellison had a 22nd place finish on Saturday, while Maddie Ewers was close behind in 26th. Natalie Ellison took 29th in Sunday's race..
Vaughn Peck again led the men with a 15th and a 12th place slalom finish. Michael Ewers notched a 26th place finish on Saturday. Mat Bueckers was 36th and 40th.
Joseph Estrella travelled to Park City, Utah to compete with some of the fastest J3's in the Western Region. The winner of the shootout goes to the Trofeo Topolino International Children's Race in Italy.
