Having only tried shooting once before back when I was a junior at a biathlon practice day at ASC (and having little success!), I was super impressed by how well everyone did in the shooting range. Their focus and concentration were readily apparent, as was their skill in staying steady and bringing their heart rates down after pushing the pace on the run. This is all a part of what makes biathlon so neat to watch: how so many aspects must come together to create the optimal race. I'm looking forward to trying it out next year!
In the junior female's novice race, Sugar Bowl Academy's Laurel Fiddler took top honors with some fast running, followed by Megan McCandless and Katrin Larusson. Among the males, UNR freshman Joe Rodrigues placed first, followed by SBA's Sam Zabell, who hit nine of his 10 targets, and ASC's own Dylan Syben in third.
Among adults racing the novice distance, Kim Field turned in the fastest time for the women, while Paul Barnes took top honors for the men. And in the pro race, ASC's Raylene Chew turned in a strong performance as the lone woman in the field. Phil Viollet won the men's race with some solid shooting and fast running, followed by junior Jordan McElroy.
