Final Results

Many thanks to Betsy Devin-Smith and all the volunteers who put on a super two day event! There was a great crowd at the range both days and everyone had a good time, despite the low snow. Thanks to Rick and others who shoveled snow onto the trail to make it better. Bob Vallor served as our Range Master - Thanks Bob!

Who else but speedy Dave Anana was the winner on Sunday with a time of 39:54. Dave was also the best shot with only 5 misses out of 20. Great skiing and shooting Dave!

There were many first time Biathletes, as well as a lot of the familiar faces. The pictures should show that everyone had a great time.
