February 20-21 saw a fantastic weekend of racing for the Mighty-Mites at Stevens Pass for the annual WildKatz event.  Weather was great and the race venue challenging.  CMAC racers enjoyed excellent results with coaching from Tom, Tad and Ryan.

On Saturday in the Giant Slalom for the Ladies, in the U10s, Quinn Dennehy grabbed 4^th, Paisley Bigatel 9^th, and Ellie Trulson 10^th. In the U12s, Aleah Watterson was 8^th.  In the U14, Claire Walters scored 2^nd, and second overall for the day.

For the Mens Giant Slalom in the U8 class CMAC crowded the podium with Gabriel Caccia in second and Gavin Trachte 3^rd. In the U10 group, Sawyer Krohn took 2^nd.  For the U14s, Ethan Golik was 8^th.

CMAC really showed its strength and depth in the U12s with 6 racers in the top 10.  Ollie Loeser won the race, Ben Albrecht was 3^rd, Tristan Krohn 5^th, Tanner Stines 6^th, Gunnar Trachte 9^th, and Andrew Minor 10^th.  A photo of the mostly CMAC awards ceremony is below.

In Sunday’s Slalom for the Ladies, Claire Walters took the top step, winning the U14 class (2^nd overall). Aleah Watterson was 9^th in the U12s and Quinn Dennehy scored 4^th in the U10s.
