Last week, the trials races for the World/Youth Junior Biathlon Championships came to Jericho. For those that weren’t aware, several of the MNC team skiers are also biathletes…you’ve likely skied by them training and shooting with Coach Algis AFTER they finish their ski training with the club!
Marika, Eliza, and Timmy competed in a grueling 3-race/3-day series with some impressive efforts.
On day 1 Eliza showed she had begun a good recovery from the pneumonia it turns out she’d been suffering from all December. She hit a lot of targets and skied a blazing time to take 3rd place!
Eliza on the podium!
A great fall of training made a strong result unsurprising!
Day 3 saw the strongest performances from Marika and Timmy. Marika raced into the top-5,
while Timmy overcame some shooting trouble in earlier races to take 6th place (despite “racing up” into the Youth category even though he is still a “Boy” by the age system)
MNC suit spotted on the range!
Coming off a pretty serious foot injury from the summer/fall, Marika proved she is still a force on the trails!
Thanks to Max Cobb and Paul Bierman for some great photos!
