Honorable Mentions - For the athletes that gave it their all.

Tim Green. Tim keeps us coaches laughing but has also made tremendous progress this season. It is nice to work with an athlete that gives it his all but does not take himself too seriously. And yes, he is a clydesdale even though he does not look it.

Katie June (tiny one center above) - For winning her first race at age 15. Where does that power come from?

A special honorable mention to Chris Powers. Chris broke his neck and back in a mountain biking crash. True to his never say die nature he is doing all he can to get healthy; including attending our "tuesday night grind" in a neck brace. Chris we all look forward to your comeback!

Team Sport Factory mechanic Ryan Livingston at Roswell Bikes for being invaluable to our team. Ryan is the glue that holds not only our bikes but our team together. Thanks for all of your hard work.
