CACTUS CLASSIC NATIONALS
This past weekend, June 12 and 13, the Vernon BMX club had something to be proud of as 32 of its riders competed in Kamloops at the Cactus Classic Nationals. Stiff competition from 460+ riders from BC, Alberta and the U.S.A. made spectating worthwhile in the 32 degree weather on Saturday.

Some of the highlights of the weekend included: Beck Corkle taking his first National win in 8 novice; Tanner Brown taking home a win on Saturday in 7 Intermediate which put him up to the Expert class and then scoring a fine 3rd in his first 7 Expert race; Gavin Medema led a Vernon 1-2-3 in 8 Intermediate both days. Dawson Luchene and Karl Urquhart were right there all the way making Gavin work for the wins; and “Airborne” Ian Knopf picking up an Extreme Team sponsorship while taking home 5 wins in two classes. Also scoring firsts over the weekend were Dawson Luchene, Arleigh Hill, Shylo Orchard, and Xavier Bitz.

Second place finishes were scored by Chris Spence, Tyler Riva, Richard Wood, Erik Urquhart, Nathan Martin and Jennifer Bitz.

Third place finishes went to Brenden Davies, Connor Manahan, Jake Spence, Keith Wood, Lennox Winslow and Mark "Crazy Legs" Krahn.

Pro riders were out in force and all three of Vernon's Pro riders stepped up to the plate. In A-Pro Kevin Hill and Mani Kawaguchi split two 4th place finishes over the weekend while in the Girls Pro class Shanda Hill took a fine 3rd place. All three riders took home a slice of the Pro purse!

Also placing in their respective classes were Cody Wessels, James Krahn, Jared Fitt, Keenon Jeberg, Ken Botterill, Kyle Stone, Aaron Botterill, Landon Fitt, Noah Wessels and Porter Trevelyan.

Congratulations to all the Vernon riders that made the trip to Kamloops!
