The Nederland High School MtB team had a great weekend for the Regional Championships in Eagle on a fast and dusty course.
Laila Waldron rode hard and landed herself on the podium, coming in fourth in varsity girls and third overall in regionals.
Amika Begin crushed her race and came in fourth in freshman girls and finished the year fifth overall. Halle Peiffer finished 7th overall in sophomore girls for regionals.
Mechanical issues did not stop Ty Williams when his bike seat fell off a few minutes into his race. He had to ride standing up for the rest of the lap and then decided to continue the race on a borrowed bike, showing a lot of mental toughness and grit.
The Nederland team came in third place in regionals for Division three and several kids, who will be announced later, will be going to State in a couple of weeks in Glenwood Springs.
The team continues to grow, with five potential 8th grade racers joining next year, which would bump the Panthers up to Division two. Race days are a fun and rewarding experience for all the kids, so if you or anyone you know is interested in learning more, contact Sean DePaula, the Nederland Middle and High School Athletic Director.
Let’s go Panthers!
