Phat Kidz Race Report & Results - June 24
[heading]The future of DH racing is alive and well in Whistler[/heading]
Over 40 kids came out to race in the first Phat Kidz Race of 2015. With the largest category being the 7 & 8 year olds (17 competitors), there is no doubt that some of these kids will be racing World Cup in a few years time.Phat Kidz is all about intro to racing and progression so we started the season of with an easy track of Crabapple Turns to Del Bocca Vista finishing up on EZ Does it. A little flow, and a little tech kept things interesting. Taking the win in the Kidz 7 & 8s was Dane Jewett with a time of 2:54.01. He was followed closely by Benjamin Devall (2:56.60) and Landon Devall (2:58.56). In the Kidz 9 & 10s, Ryan Griffith stood on the top step with 2:49.54. Sam Marshall and Jacob Coleman rounded out the rest of the podium with 2:52.63 and 2:55.14 respectively. The Kidz 11 & 12 saw the closest battle of the day, walking away with the win by only 3 tenths was Jakob Jewett (2:21.49) over Finn Finestone (2:36.62) with Brendan Keuling in 3rd. Our fastest man of the evening was Lucas Cruz posting a 2:20.97 well ahead of 2nd place Matthew Griffith (2:40.16) and Luke Schroth (2:49.81) in 3rd.[button link="http://www.worca.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Phat-Kidz-Results-June-24.pdf" target="blank" color="#28c8e5" text="light"]Phat Kidz June 24th Results[/button][spacer size="10"]The evening was rounded up with a nice cold Milk 2 Go and some awesome draw prizes thanks to our sponsors, including Sram, Go Pro, Dakine, Oakley and more.The next Phat Kidz in July 22nd as we step it up a notch and head over to B-Line.Phat Wednesdays will resume for a special Canada Day edition, July 1st.
