We had a great weekend of racing with many of our athletes participating in one of our main team races, the Patriot’s Tri in Williamsburg. However, we also had tons of other results from races including IM Lake Placid, the Speak Up 5k, Odyssey Trail Running Rampage, and several high school cross country and mountain bike races, as well as many more. Congrats to all our athletes who raced! Let’s get started.
At the Patriot’s Half, Jax Bethel competed in the half and snagged first place in Military Females (and would have won her age group, as well!). Kris Scott completed his first half-full distance with an amazing bike split and persistence on a brutally hot run course. Cort Kirkley won his age group.
At the Patriot’s Olympic, Laura Vance, Lee White, David Knicely, Meredith Newcomb, Sarah Pathoff, Scott Vanwagner, Roger Peterson, and Mary Cramer all competed in the Olympic distance triathlon at Patriot’s and had strong races. Monica Woodward finished 4th in her AG. Mike Thompson had a solid debut in the Olympic distance, placing 6th in his AG. Matt Cramer ended up taking first in his age group and 10th place overall for the day!
At the Patriot’s Sprint, Danielle Sparkman competed in the Sprint and took 3rd place in the Athena Division. Donna Morris took 1st in the masters’ division. Chloe Ramirez took 1st in her AG!
