TransCan
Nationals
see local
boy place
second
in Canada
By Susan Hundertmark
Expositor Editor
A seven-year-old boy
from Walton placed second
in his motocross class for
all of Canada at the Walton
TransCan Nationals last
week.
Mitchell Godkin, of RR 4
Walton, placed second
overall in the 50cc 4-6 class
and won a trophy that is
level with his forehead.
"It's the biggest trophy
he's ever won by far," says
his mom Katrin Godkin.
"He's quite excited but
he's still a little bit shy
about the whole thing," she
said.
TransCan organizer Brett
Lee said Godkin "did
awesome" at the Nationals.
"If he'd gotten a few
better starts, he might have
gotten first place. He and
his brother, (Lucas, 5) have
all the tools they need to be
the next JSRs (Nationals
pro champion Jean
Sebastian Roy)," said Lee.
The 13th annual Walton
TransCan, host of
the Canadian Amateur
National Championship and
the Pro National
Championships from Aug.
11 to 15, expected over
22,000 spectators to
watch the almost full slate
of 962 participants from all
over North America.
Lee said that while the
final numbers have not been
counted yet, attendance
topped last year with full
classes in all but three
categories.
"We always get a strong
pro turnout but the amateur
turnout was above average
on a national scale," he
said.
Events coordinator Larry
Dalrymple said this year's
Nationals in Walton hosted
a "sea of people" and
during a helicopter ride
above the event, he saw that
the event took up a larger
space than the village of
Walton.
"It was a great weekend
with great weather. On
Wednesday, we were scared
by the rain but the sun tame
out the next day and the
weather and the conditions
were perfect for the rest of
the event," he said.
