MNC Boys Ranked 3rd in the Country!

By on 11 March, 2014 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Based on the results of our boys racing at Junior Nationals last week, the MNC boys finished the season as the 3rd place club in the country! This was due to the success each of the boys had in their individual races at Trapp’s. The scoring system [world cup points] favors strength of results over having a large number of participants. Since our athletes all had top-6 performances, including two podiums from Forrest, they ranked really high in the nation!

Congratulations to Forrest, Henry and Ben, as well as all the other MNC athletes, coaches and parents that helped support them over the past several years. This kind of result is something that takes a lot of hard work over the course of many months and years.
