MISCA Race #6 – First Place Middle School!

October 22, 2018

Today was the Coyotes Final Race of the season and our team enjoyed the chilly temperatures. We even had a little snow flying during our races. All Riders raced their hearts out today and we are so proud of all the things they have accomplished this season.

The Coyotes continued their successful ways and captured 7 podium spots and earned a 1st Place Overall for the Middle School Team. For the MiSCA Series Final Standings Raven, Anabel, and Haydon took home the Top Trophy in their respective categories. Way to go!!!

Also the Parent’s and Coaches out did themselves by having an extremely well setup Tent Area. They brought in a few portable Heaters and had many Blankets ready for the riders when they got done racing. We were able to get everybody warm and keep them warm. Thank You All for making that happen!!! And the Food was great too!
