Please note that some small time adjustments were made for waiting for targets; with 2 not in use due to a huge hornet nest between them and another that was not functioning –we did run a little short. 20 athletes today!

Also, please welcome Bridget Collins from Brainerd, a total newcomer to the sport—who jumped into the Novice class when I promised her some easier ‘prone on standing’ targets for the two middle shooting stages!! And visitor Haley Finch from Anchorage, who was the top shooter of the day on a borrowed bolt action rifle that wasn’t fit to her!! 1,1,0,1!!!

Our congratulations to the top finishers:

Cheresa Bouley won the women’s list by about 2 minutes over Haley Finch, the first Youth W, and Annelise Baird for the top <17 W results!!

On the Men’s side—Carson Peterson continues his notable podium journeys from VT with a decisive win over Junior Ryan Houseman! Carson is skiing strong, and his prone was looking really nice at 1,0!! Sergei Viskovatykh was the top <17 M, trimming his penalties down today to 8/20 compared to recent results!!

All in all, it was a great day, with the rain holding off!!

And a special thanks to Tom Binsfeld and Chad Bouley for blowing acorns early this morning!! The blowers were going when I arrived at 7:30!! As of yesterday, the courses were not skiable!!

Elk River Summer Biathlon #2 – July 23, 2023 – RESULTS

Posted on July 24, 2023 by Minnesota Biathlon - Ben

The following adjustments were made from the official sheets printed before the race:

10 seconds were given back to Saylor for range issues.
5 seconds were given back to Caleb, also for range issues.
In the excitement of the pursuit start, I failed to ghost Lauren. To correct this, Audry’s, Irina’s, and Maeve’s start times were moved up 5 seconds from the original sheet, reflecting their true start time.

Please let me know of any corrections or adjustments needed.

Youth Olympic Games Information

Posted on July 10, 2023 by Minnesota Biathlon - Ben

Hi Coaches,

I hope everyone is having a great summer!

You are receiving this email because you have a coach/official membership with USBA. I want to provide some important information on the 2024 Youth Olympic Games and hope you can share this with any athletes that you work with who are eligible for the games.

The ICC and our Board of Directors have approved the selection procedure for YOG. You can find that on our new website here, and I have also attached it to this email.

To be eligible for YOG, an athlete must be born between the 1st of January 2006 and the 31st of December 2007. This is an IBU/IOC rule and does not come from USBA.

YOG qualification will happen in coordination with our YJWCH trials in Mt. Itasca, MN, from December 28th- 31st, 2023. To qualify for YOG, athletes must race in these trials!

Any athlete hoping to qualify for YOG must be added to the USOPC’s long list. Once on the long list, athletes will be asked to submit passport copies, headshots, etc. To be added to the long list, athletes must submit their intention to race in trials by providing some basic information by August 1st on this G-Form.

Please note that athletes competing at YOG will need passports that expire no earlier than August 3rd, 2024! If you need a new passport, please get on that ASAP!

I look forward to seeing many of you in Jericho at Summer Nationals!

Best,
Tim Burke
