Elk River Roller Ski Race – Thurs, Aug 19th, 2021 – RESULTS
Sponsored by Minnesota Biathlon and Twin Cities Biathlon
Thursday, August 19th, 2021
Woodland Trails Biathlon Range
Below are the results from last night—sorted—on one sheet sorted by gender/race length and on the other sorted by gender/race length/age class. While the younger athletes are in two year age classes, at Trials <17 and youth will be combined so into a 4 yr class. The Junior class is now three years [19,20,21] and the seniors run up to 30 but many older race down. In any case, Ben Fena had a really good race as did Amanda Kautzer!! Those relay rounds are a mixed blessing!! Takes a lot of time to load them, and they throw off the rhythm of the shooting. So good shooting pays!!
