On The Pegs April 2019 - Volume 4 - Issue 4 | Page 116

On The Pegs 116 With a total entry of 11 riders, there were three first-time competitors, some moved up to the next class, and some of also participated in the STRA adult event(s) over the weekend – we are so proud of these kids, their skills devel- opment and attitudes. Youth C was the largest class with five com- petitors sharing the last name of “Pettitt” and one bike! In the end Jesslyn got the win followed by her brother Jonah while Cousin Victoria, on her first ever trails competition rounded out the po- dium with third. Some exciting back- and-forth competition unfolded in Youth B between the “Battling Blonds” SaraBeth Smith and Layla Paul. Layla came out on top this time with the class win. Youth A provided an exciting competition between Sherman Smith III and Sawyer Stewart. In the end, it was Sawyer with the win by a three point margin. Round- ing out the podium was Ethan Pettitt in his first-ever trials with some goods rides and improving scores each lap. The next events for the kids in the STRA Mark Moon Youth Trial Series will be a double-header April 13 & 14 at Henry Hills in Lenoir City, TN.
