The Wood River High School and Middle School mountain biking squads got tired of not riding due to COVID-19 restrictions, so head coach Joel Zellers got his kids together for an intrasquad race Wednesday, Sept. 23, and Thursday, Sept. 24, at Croy Canyon in Hailey.
“It’s been a long season without races, but this week we were able to come together to race,” Zellers said.
Both the middle and high school teams made the best of the COVID-19 situation while racing on the 1-mile short track loop, resulting in fast times and a few crashes.
Top finishers in Thursday’s high school race were freshman Dexter Morrison with a time of 13 minutes, 1 second. Sophomore Holden Archie took second with 13:16 while senior Elias Svennungsen took third with 13:22.

Introducing children to mountain biking is CRIMINAL. Mountain biking, besides being expensive and very environmentally destructive, is extremely dangerous. Recently a 12-year-old girl DIED during her very first mountain biking lesson! Another became quadriplegic at 13! Serious accidents and even deaths are commonplace. Truth be told, mountain bikers want to introduce kids to mountain biking because (1) they want more people to help them lobby to open our precious natural areas to mountain biking and (2) children are too naive to understand and object to this activity. Parents: If you do not allow your children to play football in school, why are you allowing them to mountain bike?
