Mammoth - Friday

It has been very exciting and fun up here in Mammoth. Beautiful country! Here are a just a few things that I can remember...

Yesterday, Travis Brown won the Men's Pro Marathon event. Today, Jeremy Horgan-Kebelski won the Men's Pro Cross Country event. Former World Champ, Ned "The Man" Overend took 5th at the youg age of 50!

Shonny VanLandingham was leading the Women's Pro Cross Country for 3 laps. On the 4th lap and final lap, she got a front wheel flat on the downhill section of the course. That allowed Mary McConneloug to catch up to her and ride Shonny's back wheel as they approached the finish. About 200 yards before the finish line, the dirt trail meets pavement. Right when Shonny hit the pavement, her front wheel washed out and she went down hard. Mary took the National Championship on Shonny's tough luck. Allison Dunlap raced her last race of her career and finished 3rd (I think).

Team Nova Racer, Trevor Downing, finished in the top 10 in the Junior Expert XC event.

Tyler and Zack are trying to rest up for their race tomorrow. Tyler will be racing the 11-12 category and Zack will be in the 10 and under. We will post results and pictures tomorrow.
