Arizona Cross Series Finals - Crossroads Park, Gilbert AZ

After battling through 8 races in the season, we finally made it to the AZ Cross series finale!  The forecast called for sunny skies and temps in the mid to upper 50's at race time.  What we got was cloudy skies and temps hovering in the upper 40's.  It was cold!!  Unfortunately, we did not dress for the occasion and the kids were freezing!  With chattering teeth and shivering bodies, the race was off.  Liam was never able to shake the cold and quickly found himself in 2nd place.  Barrett had a great start and battled with Ty all morning.  Emma was off to a quick start, but dropped to 2nd place half way through lap 1.  In the end, it wasn't in the cards for our crew today.  Liam finished 2nd behind Randy, Barrett held strong for 4th, and Emma came in second behind Alyssa.

The AZ Cross Series Awards were handed out today as well.  We fared much better in the overall standings.  In the Boys 9-18, Liam took the top spot, followed by Tanner (absent) and Randy in 3rd.  Barrett finished 5th in the overall series race.  For the girls, Emma got top honors followed by Avery (absent) in 2nd and Alyssa in 3rd.  Avery was home sick, so her dad, Scott (also racing in the series), stood in for her podium!
