JV Series Champion Sam Roach post victory

Record Number of Racers at Virginia High School MTB State Championships. Riders were challenged by a grueling 16-mile course (JV=8; Elementary=4). The race doubled as a USA Cycling Nationals Qualifying Event for mountain bike nationals this summer. Miller School of Albemarle's Chris Keeling won the race in commanding fashion. A strong group including Jonas Zimmerman (Rocktown), Cameron Ritcher (Rocktown), and Taylor Clarke (Cannondale) battled it out for second place in the muddy conditions. Clarke proved the strongest and took the lead in the second half of the last lap. Zimmerman finished third with Series Leader, Ritcher, in 4th. Rounding out the podium was G Shultz, who recently won the Virginia Hill Climb Championship, in 5th.

In the Girls race, Emily Croft (PureXC) won her third consecutive race ahead of Ashlyn Woods (MSA).

The JV race was closely contested by teammates Sam Roach (Roanoke-Eastcoasters) and Aaron Workowski. Roach finished a few minutes ahead and took his 5th straight win and the overall title. Josh Flory, Kieran Cottrell (MSA), and Max Koneff (BRS) finished close behind.

Kyle Little won his second consecutive race in the Elementary category. Kyra Shelley fought hard to retain her leaders jersey by finishing 2nd. She was followed by Nathaniel Layman. Gus Meyers finished an impressive 4th place in his first race. Carson Osburn rounded out the podium in 5th.

Rocktown Racing took the overall Series and State Championship titles. Miller School of Albemarle finished in second place just a few points ahead of PureXC. Blue Ridge School finished 4th, and Woodberry Forest School finished 5th.

In the JV TEAM competition, Roanoke Eascoasters edged out Miller School of Albemarle for the win. Blue Ridge School and Bear Creek Academy finished 3rd and 4th respectively.
