Tornados mountain bike team on a roll The Tornados mountain bike team had another great race this weekend at Alexander Mountain Bike park in Asheville. Hosted by Mars Hill college, our athletes raced against the entire Southeastern conference. In the downhill, senior Kate Weisenfluh brought home another win with a one second lead on a one minute course in the A women’s downhill race. Senior Tripp Bagnal ran the fastest time for our men’s A riders, with a 5th place finish. Newcomer to the team, senior Willis Kallay came in 2nd place in the men’s B race, with freshman Duncan Miller in third. In the men’s A XC race, Scott Hoffner got third place against a stacked field. Due to a few bike mechanicals, several of our riders had to drop out of the race. In the women’s Arace, senior Morgan Sykes rounded out the top ten riders. Senior Willis Kallay won the men's B 4X race, and freshman Mac Banner took second in the men's A race. Our riders in the short track race faired as well as the other events. Sophomore Lewis Gaffney took third place for the A men riders, with Scott Hoffner close behind in 8th. Morgan Sykes took 12th out of 20 women racers. Our mountain bike team will take a rest weekend before Conference Championships October 15th-16th. 1, ■--..'■-V. IT - Scott Hoffner on his way to third place Photo by Liza Fortenberry
