Mountain Biking

Idyllwild School Mountain Bike Coach Josh White gave this report:

On April 14, the Idyllwild Middle School Mountain Bike Team competed with the Hemet High School Mountain Bike Team in the Victory at Vail Race at Vail Lake.

All six middle-school racers were able to race and had a really successful weekend. Mei Li Stroud turned in her best performance this season finishing sixth in a field of 36. Jakob Parsons turned in another solid performance finishing 15th in a field of 36 Level-2 boys.

Out of a field of 68 Level-1 seventh-grade boys, Michael Stroud overcame a fairly significant crash (free of injury) to finish 36th on the day.

The Level-1 sixth-grade boys finished 32nd (Seth White), 36th (Colby Sonnier), and 39th (Jake Fey) in a field of 57.

The team is practicing hard for their final race of the season, which is May 5 in Tehachapi.
