The inaugural season of Blue Hills Racing, and the third season of Blue Hills Devo came to a close this weekend at the .league event number six at Wompatuck State Park in MA. More than 100 of our athletes, coaches, and family members traveled to the final round of racing to watch the kids end their year in the same way it began: with enthusiasm, resilience, and spectacularly strong bike riding.
We had standout performances across the board!
Lizzy Gilman completed the perfect season with 7 wins in 7 starts, while Dharma Gonzalez earned her first trip to the awards stage with a 5th place finish in her last race! Sofia Kemecsei and Estelle Hediger completed their own gold medal sweeps of the K/1 and 2/3 Devo categories, while Olivia Kirk added another silver medal to her collection in the girls 4/5’s. All said, the girls from Blue Hills made 43 podium appearances in eight weeks of racing this spring.
On the boys side, Hollis Butler won his 5th consecutive gold medal in the boys JS-1 class to complete a historic rookie season while Flynn Myerson, making his NEYC debut, rode from 85th on the start grid to finish in the top 10. Our middle school boys, Ethan, Gleb, and Sebastian all ended the year with season best performances in the Open 2 and Junior Varsity fields. All this on the heels of another memorable Devo day on Saturday for our K-5th graders where Seneca Kenney won the boys K/1 category along with 5 other Blue Hills Devo boys earning a trip to the podium.
Post race, the teams laughed and celebrated with end-of-year parties back at our tent village. The amount of sugar consumed was equally alarming and deserved. (Thanks to our neighboring teams for helping finish the gallons on extra ice cream we somehow accumulated!)
Many thanks and gratitude towards all the coaches, parents, and supporters who made this season so special. You all are the secret to our success!
And to .catale and the .league, thank you for creating the spaces and opportunities for us to make these memories. Your tireless efforts to get is seen and appreciated. We hope you’ll have us back for 2027!
💙🏁
