Difficult conditions at AO XC Champs in King City

One way to track the growth of our small club is to look at the number of athletes that participate in the AO Championships. Two years ago Boardwalk sent 2 athletes to the competition. Last year that number grew to 4? 5? This year the club was represented by 12 athletes. Nine of our athletes had to compete against older competition, and it is always a great challenge of your abilities when an athlete has to get out of their comfort zone and face people you are not accustomed to racing. 

​Here are our results, the younger athletes are in italics.
