Great Kickoff to Idaho's XC Season!!
We had several great meets and a few that had elite performances
Camelsback: Always a tough start with the hills!! It's an out and back, but the hills tend to separate those ready and those still working hard to get ready!! Congrats to winners Jimmy Lee and Sara Christianson!!
Jimmy Driscoll: Who left the water on? Maybe it was intentional as the Treasure Valley is drying up this week with water being turned off!! But, it created a better XC course. Congrats to winners Jacob Davis and Sam McKinnon!!
Saucony Sugar Scramble: Out in Sugar City, the pack came in together with seconds separating everyone. Congrats to winners Cody Peck and Olivia Redd!!
Skyview: Excellent sub-17 time for Columbias Erik Barfuss! Congrats to winners Erik Barfuss and Jocelyn Barber!!
Post Falls: Post Falls had another great meet to start the year! Congrats to winners Jerry Cook and Emily Callahan!!
At the Jimmy Driscoll, Sam McKinnon and Mikayla Malaspina ran MileSplit Elite Times. Sam is looking strong this year coming out of the gates with a huge win at the Jimmy Driscoll. As she passed us on the downhill section off the reservoir - she was smiling, which leads us to believe she wasn't pushing it at all!! With a possible change in her stride a healthy Sam McKinnon is going to be tough to beat!!
And the Sleeper Award goes to Capital Boys... Great Job winning the Jimmy Driscoll!! With 3 Top 10 performances from Sophomore Jacob Davis (1st Place - 16:30.51), and Juniors Zach Wiberg (4th Place - 16:46.30) and Drew Schultz (10th Place - 17:02.16) - keep an eye on Capital going forward this year!
