Animas High Ospreys to compete at state event The state championships are the final event of the inaugural Colorado high school mountain bike league season.
Animas High, which will be taking 12 student-athletes to the competition, currently is in sixth place out of 20 teams. There also will be one or two athletes from Durango High School attending as independent cyclists becaues DHS does not have a cycling program, coach Chad Cheeney said in a news release.
Cheeney said the new league "has been very successful in its first year as it has averaged over 170 racers per event."
"This new junior racing program in the state will have a huge effect on Colorado's future junior cycling development as it is a great nonintimidating introduction to the sport."
