Standing on the far right next to the podium is Ethan Eldred of Sherburne-Earlville. Eldred earned a fifth place finish in the eighth grade race.
ROSENDALE – The Chenango Composite competitive mountain biking team took to the trails once again on May 15, for their third race of the season, at Williams Lake in Rosendale, New York.
“A great weekend of team Chenango Composite High/Middle School Mountain Bike racing,” said coach Rob Baker.
Currently the team – which generally consists of 12-Chenango county bikers – is ranked fifteenth in the league out of 22 teams. This impressive ranking comes at the expense of the team still having no female riders, a requirement for overall scoring.
In the eighth grade section of the race saw Ethan Eldred claim a fifth place spot and a chance to stand on the podium. While Norwich's Noah Bufalini would follow up Eldred with a sixth place finish. Eldred posted a time of 34:42.83, while Bufalini came in at the time of 35:45.34.
