P74
teams rose to the top.
Among the American teams, the SRT Off-road
trio held the most promise. Comprised of veteran
Ben Kelley along with first-timers Ty Tremaine and
Cody Webb, the team—nicknamed "Team Too
Tall" since all three are over six feet tall—lived up
to its promise. Starting out in fourth behind teams
from France, Italy and Wales, the group plugged
along to finish third by week's end, with all three
contributing competitive scores and Kelley the top
scorer among them, easily earning a gold medal
for second in C1 and fifth Club rider overall.
EnduroCross riders Tremaine and Webb weren't
far behind. Tremaine claimed a gold medal for
fourth in C2 and ninth Club rider
overall while Webb also finished
fourth (but in C3) thus earning
gold while placing 16th overall
Club rider.
The Missouri Mudders—Devan
Bolin, Brendan Riordan and Alex
Witkowski—finished the week
14th with Riordan the fastest. He
finished on gold, seventh in C1.
Bolin competed in C3 where he
had a couple hiccups but perse-
vered to get gold for his 11th in class while Wit-
kowski ended up 27th to take home a silver medal.
Eric Cleveland Memorial (Anthonee Gibbs, Justin
Morgan and Jacob Rowland) was 17th with Morgan
leading the group, 18th in C2 and a gold medal.
After Rick Emerson and Steve Mason both
DNFed then re-impounded on the second day, the
Elisabeth Scott Community all-Senior team's vet-
eran Brian Storrie was the only one to finish intact.
He ended the week by winning his final C1 moto
as well, putting him on gold for 32nd in class. The
team ended up 95th.
The Appalachian Dirt Riders (Van McCarren,
Nick O'Bryant and Mike Pillar) were handicapped
when O'Bryant's brand-new last-minute replace-
ment bike quit on day two, but the others kept
going for a 119th-place team
finish. CN
