The way the high school racing works is that they have 4 races in the regular season. After the last race, the lowest time is dropped and, if a biker finished all 4 races, an additional 25 points was added to his/her score. Ethan finished 44th out of 73 racers in the Southern Region Freshman Division.
State Championships are considered their own race and it combines the North and South Divisions, so there are A LOT of kids racing! Ethan had bike problems on his last lap (his back tire tried to fall off and his gears were being weird). He finished 102nd but I don't know how many raced. But we were really happy for all the hard work he put into it!
We loved having the race in our home town because it made it so we didn't have to travel as far. It was great because he had a 8:15 a.m. race start and had to be there by 7 a.m. to warm up. He is an amazing racer and we are so happy with all the hard work he has put in this year.
The sun was coming up so these videos aren't the best, but here is Ethan's start. Remember: look for the green helmet.
