Saturday morning were the pursuit races. The club split up into groups again, and fore-ran the courses. Sam Humphries competed in the Youth Men's division, and skied five 2K loops. He shot two times prone and two times standing. Sam finished 8th. In the afternoon there were the citizens races. We had one skier, Sophia Laukli, compete in the Moose division with air rifles, and finished second. She looked fantastic! We also had club members in the youth air rifle race, youth .22 race, and adults .22 race. Everyone had an awesome time and did very well. For girl's air rifles, Olivia Conrad won, followed by Carrie Adams and Katrina Laukli. Juan Mesones came third for the boys. For .22's Chester Jacobs won, followed by Tom Sullivan and Jackson Hall. For girls, Tara Humphries came third. Amy Laukli came second for women, and Louisa Moore came third. Everyone tried their best, and performed very well. For dinner, some stayed in the cabins and some went to the banquet at UMFK. At the banquet SMBC kids all got posters signed by biathlete idol Russell Currier. It was another great day, and everyone got lots of sun.
