Nationals Recap: Youth Elite Males 🏃🏽♂️
Our youth boys were our largest group, and made up 15% of their field this year… and boy did they put on a show! It has been so rewarding watching this group get the results they have worked so hard for this season. We can’t wait to see this momentum continue and build upon for years to come!
Some stand-out performances include:
🥉 Jonathan Peri had a phenomenal race with a sprint finish to secure the third spot on the podium! After a long season, his hard work paid off right when it mattered. He finishes his youth elite career ranked 10th in the series as he heads to juniors next season.
💥 Jaxson Neukirch finished off an amazing second year finishing 21st in the series (up from 57th last year) and proving that consistency is key! He managed to collect a handful of top 10’s on the run and swim this season and has developed as an extremely well-rounded athlete. He will sure be one to watch next season!
🏃🏽♂️Grayson Ott pieced together one of the best races of his youth elite career this past weekend. He finished out the season ranked 24th in the series, compared to 62nd just last season. The future is looking bright for this one, and we’re excited to see what the next few years have in store!
