Nic Tautiva is AG Champ in Track Shack Grand Prix Series!


Nic Tautiva ran all 7 races of the Track Shack Grand Prix Series and emerged on top of his AG with the most points in a competitive age group. The 7th and final race was a 10K in Winter Park worth double points. He PR'd in the event and looks to use the strong performance to run well off the bike this tri season.
Tim Palyukh ran his first open 10K and placed 6th in his age group. The strong run will set him up well for the first triathlon of the season, an olympic distance in 2 weeks out in Clermont. Tim has been putting in a solid base for a big season of tri racing in 2010. Look for Tim to step up onto the national stage.
Ciara Hopkins raced the 1600m later that same Saturday (the 13th) at the Lake Highland Track Meet. She ran amongst a strong group of high schoolers and squeaked into 8th place with a time of 5:42. She is only in 7th grade. Ciara has also been racing in many cycling criteriums and circuit races the past 2 months, placing 1st frequently in her junior category amongst females.
She will be racing cat 4 in the Sugarloaf Road Race this Saturday, a race that climbs the notorious hill 3 times!
Look for many Team MBE athletes to race at the local Great Clermont Festival on March 28th.
