Conference Championship Race Report

It is remarkable to believe that the collegiate race season has already come to a close. We went off to Moscow, ID and Pullman, WA as usual to compete in the last race weekend of the season. Met with beautiful weather, the team was in high spirits and ready to let it all loose in the races.

We had strong overall performances by everyone on the team with multiple podium finishes on both the men’s and women’s side demonstrating the amount of growth and improvement that was seen on the team this year. Overall Whitman was a strong contender in the conference again this year and some of the young riders cannot wait for next season.

We would like to thank our chaperone Justin for not only helping us before racing but also competing in the Team Time Trial and coming in 3rd! Additionally we would like to thank the Priebe’s for again hosting the team and coming to support our riders. We have enjoyed racing against all the other schools in the conference and thank them for yet another fun filled season!
