At an early hour this am I had a text from Garrett Beckrich—he had the 3rd fastest ski time in the Youth Men’s 12.5 km Individual race! 105 finishers from about 25 countries!
I opened the results up and he finished 20th. In the Individual you shoot PSPS –he went 0,3,0,1 and each shot at the Youth Men’s level is a 45 sec add on penalty.

Great job!! In another text he said his legs were shaking so bad he couldn’t hold the rifle steady.

Emma Stertz is currently on her last ski leg in the Youth Women’s 10 km Individual—shooting 3,3,1,1……… and just finished in 43rd.

Good start to the Championships!
