It was a large field of competitors in the junior girls event with 24 racers. Blyth’s Michele Studhalter had a great race bringing home bronze, while Kelsey Morgan finished fifth. Teammate Kara Hendriks also had a personal best race finishing 13th. The fantastic four consisting of Erin, Emily and Madeline Yungblut along with Julie-Ann Staeli, owned the podium with first, second, third and fourth-place finishes.
