State Championships in Cedar City

The mountain biking State Championships were held in Cedar City this year.  It was great for us because we could go up that day and not have to spend the night.  Ethan didn't get to pre-ride the course but he wasn't too upset about that one.  He wasn't riding until the afternoon so we didn't go until later in the day.

We had to walk to the pit zone which was right on the side of the bike path.  It was great to watch the start from the pit zone and then walk a little way to watch the race.

Ethan and Courtney before the start of the race.  Ethan is always in a good mood when he is getting on his bike.

He had to ride 2 laps and this was during the first one.

We were waiting for our monkey to come by the finish line.

Courtney is in the middle of this pic on the rock.  This was a great place to watch the race.

He was all smiles after his last race as a Flying Monkey.  The season is over.

Cute Courtney!

They had the awards ceremony at SUU in their basketball arena.  They had a bunch of awards.  Our coach received the coach of the year award and one of our bike riders won the Spirit award.  It was an amazing night for the end of the Flying Monkeys.

Snow Canyon High School won third in the region and 5th in State and they were given trophies to take home.  They took a picture with all the kids on the Snow Canyon team (Ethan is in there somewhere).
