Bend JOQ- Day 1

Racers from across the Pacific Northwest skated through a fresh snowstorm on the first day of the Sunnyside Junior Olympic Qualifier and enjoyed fast tracks and clear skies for the Classic race.  Click here for photos and results are posted here. It was great to see all of the teams from PNSA! Highlights included a Bend Nordic sweep of the boy’s J2 podium in both the skate and classic races: Nick St. Clair, Ryan St. Clair and Kelly Smallwood. Pat Madden, Reitler Hodgert, Bella Smith and Eloise Zimbelman (Whitman) won their respective age categories in the skate event and Bend Nordic J1/OJ boys swept the classic podium with Pat Madden #1, Reitler Hodgert #2 and Brandon Roadman #3. Chase Ricker placed 3rd for the J3 boys in the classic portion of the PNSA J3 Championships. Meanwhile, Joe Madden had a great showing at the Boulder Mountain Tour in Ketchum, Idaho- placing 56th out of 700 racers. Great weekend team!
