So far this season has been very successful. After four weekends of racing, we have multiple wins in the Men's A, Women's A, Men's B and Women's B fields, and high placements in the other fields as well. In overall standings, we're doing very well in the Men's A field, with Peter Baker in 2nd overall, and Kennett Peterson, David Kuhns, and Orion Berryman following closely behind in 6th, 7th, and 8th respectively.
In overall team conference standings, we're sitting 5th out of 16 teams, but we're still within reach of second place with some good performances in the remaining part of the season. The bad news there is that we're not making the trip to Montana this year. Some of the racers will be headed south to Sea Otter, while the rest thought that leaving Thursday and returning Monday is too much of a commitment in the middle of the term. Not to mention the absurdly high travel costs for a 1400 mile weekend trip. Not going to Montana will likely put us out of contention for placing in the top 3 in the conference, but it's still a possibility given that points are doubled for conference championships.
As far as nationals qualification, we're doing very well. We're currently first in Division I for qualifying for nationals, and we're preliminarily planning on sending 6 or 7 riders to represent the team at nationals, which is the most we've sent in a long time.
