Our first race of the season was a success! 30ish Coyotes toed the line in Commerce Township. We will add pictures and videos to our Facebook group, and I’ll try to add them to a gallery on this page as well. If you have any shots, please email them to the coaches.
The COVID regulations mean we won’t have team results immediately, so we’re not able to tell you (yet) how we scored as a team. We can tell you that the Coyotes had a great first race of the season, with podiums in nearly every race we contested, event winners, and first-time racers all enjoying the perfect weather at Hickory Glen Park. As you can see from the list below, we had some great results today! The addition of an Elementary team this year has really filled out the Coyotes roster and set us up for success in the future as a squad.
We’d like to throw out a special thank-you to Tish Hoffman who made the snack bags for our racers today! Tish, they were great. Thank you so much for helping ensure the racers were fed, everyone stayed safe, and we adhered to the MiSCA regulations for racing this year. It was a successful day all around!
Finally a note of thanks to MiSCA who put on a successful event, amidst difficult conditions, safety restrictions, and COVID protocols. The event went off without a hitch, and we were very thankful to be out there racing today.
