Trevor Maxwell finishes 4th at Loveland Derby ~ 04.24.2010
Five CWSC athletes traveled to the Rocky's to compete at the 50th Annual Loveland Derby. This years race saw almost 700 racers on three different venues.
Loveland presents different challenges for PNSA racers than we experience at Mt. Hood. Hard snow and high elevation (13,000 ft. at start) require athletes to rise to a higher elevation in their skiing.
Trevor Maxwell competed against the top 100+ J4's from the Rocky Mt. Division and finished fourth after a hip check and negotiating waist deep ruts from his late starting position.
Marcus Neff scored a low 100 point result finishing in the top 30 and Colin Maxwell earned his elite pass with his sub-180 finish.
New team member Austen Law and Christian Bennett had the experience of racing with 2010 Olympian Leif Kristian Haugen of Norway.
Overall, the trip was a huge success and a great way to finish the season.
Member Barbeque Tailgater - 05.29.2010
The first CWSC Timberline Tailgater was a fantastic time! Thanks to all who showed up at wore their colors. Coach Paul, Duane and Francisco Soldevilla manned the grills and prepared about 5000 pounds of meat! Everything from one inch thick New York steaks to pulled pork.
The weather decided to cooperate at the last minute. The skies opened up and the sun came out. Slightly cool but so is the team! We were visited by several passers-by and members of other teams.
Look for other upcoming events like this. It was a great teambuilding experience and one we want to continue long into the future.
