The team showed up in force and grabbed some KBAR points at the KS state TT championships in Walnut. The course was a rolling L-shape jaunt that went to the east and then south for 20K each way. Some of the other categories had a shorter distance, but everyone competing suffered in the race of truth.

Rochelle Schleicher and Susan Ruettimann won State Champion gold in their respective categories. Schleicher got first overall in Master and Ruettimann got second overall, but won her age group. Josie Measures was close behind in third. In the Cat4’s the ladies pulled in second (Bree Ginden), and third (Alissa Stinnet) and in the 55+ masters, Roberta Dierks grabbed third.

The boys in green as usual trailed a bit behind their pink-clad teammates, but still had a strong showing, most notably with Jim CLevenger’s third place in the masters 50+. Newcomer Bill Smith got fifh in the Cat4’s while Joe Kleidosty and Shawn Knight wer sixth and seventh.

Rounding out the Masters 60+ field were Bill Mason fourth, Patrick Bunch in seventh, Bill Wells in 9th and Donavon Hottman in 10th.
