Claire Dehner Competes in 2nd Mountain Bike Race of the 2023 Season

Our second mountain bike race of the season was on Sunday, 9/10, at Pugh Bourne Park in Jackson, TN. The conditions were great! It was a beautiful, warm and sunny day. The course is a fast, single track 3-mile trail with lots of switchbacks, short, steep climbs and loose, sandy dirt. Claire Dehner '25 was our only racer who could make it for the weekend. She and Coach Cribb pre-rode the course on Saturday to help prepare Claire for the next day's race. At the race on Sunday, Claire made the cut-off after her first lap (30:14) and finished her second lap in 33:16, for a total of 6 miles. This race was a test of fitness and focus. We are so proud of Claire's hard work and determination. Our next race is at Lock 4 Park in Gallatin, TN, on September 24th. The Lock 4 course is more technically challenging than our first two races. Our team will be working hard these next two weeks to prepare.
