Lehi’s Adams leads region varsity girls in mountain biking
Lehi senior Zoe Adams lines up to start the race at Soldier Hollow on Aug. 31.
Lehi sophomore Brielle Adams has won the first two varsity girls races in the Region 5 mountain biking season to spearhead her team’s efforts in the Division I competition.
The first event on Aug. 17 in Cedar City was hampered by difficult weather conditions, so races had to be shortened and some were cancelled altogether. On this occasion, Adams edged her closest competitor by about 36 seconds.
Last Saturday (Aug. 31) at Soldier Hollow following a full-length race, Adams finished the course in 50:26.19 ahead of Lucy Jibson of Wasatch at 50:58.53 by a similarly-comfortable margin to earn the maximum point value of 300.
As a team, Lehi finished fourth behind Skyridge, Lone Peak and Wasatch. The other scoring riders for Lehi included Landon Hansen (292), Rachel Thurgood (291), Isaac Boushka (291), Taylor McKay (290), Zoe Adams (289), Livvy Stringham (286), Ashlyn Adams (284), Gwen Turner (282), Joshua Dalley (280), Jack Carter (279), Brendan Johnson (278), Bridger Whitaker (277), Van Wilkinson (277), Jack Orton (272) and Carly Howell (272).
