By Eric Morway — Over the weekend, Carson Senators Cycling competed in the third race of the northern Nevada mountain bike season. It was another great showing by the Senators with a second-place team finish.
With Mammoth Mountain hosting the “High Sierra Showdown,” the high school boys got things started with two podium finishers — Devon Granata finished 4th in the varsity category and Jax Huntington finished 2nd in the level 5 category.
The high school girls raced next with Riley Kuhlman finishing 5th in a very strong varsity girls field. First-year racer Lily Beardsley took the top podium spot in the level 4 girls category, finishing multiple laps of the 4.5 mile circuit with a breakaway win. In the middle school girls race, the Senators had two more podium finishers. Syrae Lenz finished 4th in the level 2 girls category and Clara Morway finished 5th among the level 1 girls.
Other top ten finishers include Nikki Lawlor (level 4 girls), Evie Huntington (level 3 girls), Mira Orvald (level 2 girls), Sylis and Seth Chalmers (varsity boys), and Ben Winbigler (level 1 boys).
