NBD for Zachary!

The biggest THANK YOU goes to the Cameron Lawrence Send It Foundation for sponsoring an essay contest to support deserving young riders. Zachary was one of the winners of the contest this year. He now has a brand new bike of his own so he can SEND IT when ever he wants.

The Jackals raced at Big Bear this past weekend. It was a mudfest as usual. We were lucky enough to have the Mountaineer there firing the musket to start each wave of racers.

Zachary had an eventful weekend getting a new bike (more on that in another post), and finishing 26th.

Jackson started at the back and finished 22nd.

Quinton had a great race finishing 2nd.

Tyler was in second place in JV1 with about a mile left when he ran into some bad luck. Race tape somehow got wound in is drive train, and caused his chain to constantly skip. With his cross training in XC and frustration in fixing it on the course, he choose to just run with the bike the last mile. He still finished 9th overall!

Some great finishing results:

8th Grade: Zachary 17th
JV3: Quinton 2nd

The Jackson County Jackals recently wrapped up their fourth season of racing. We could not be more proud of our student athletes and the development of this program. Highlights of this season saw athletes achieving personal bests, developing relationships with their teammates and those of the racing communities, and growth in their confidence, riding skills and mental stamina for the sport. We are making gains year after year and we continue to be encouraged by the participation and support of leadership, families and the fantastic community of Jackson County.

The Jackals wish to acknowledge the local businesses who have helped make our pedals spin this season. There are many youth activities that our community's businesses can support and we continue to be grateful for those that have chosen to join up with our organization. Thank you to Myer's RVs who joined our efforts this season and BBU Services, Blue Heron Landing, Lewis Excavating, Workman Construction, Custom Detail and Constellium that have been part of the Jackal crew from its inception. Your commitment to our program has been integral in providing opportunities for the kids to get out and show their talents across the racing circuit of West Virginia.

We encourage our audience to show their appreciation by keeping them top of mind and recommending them when you and your networks are in need. Let's keep the small businesses of Jackson County thriving alongside the activities and programs they proudly support!
