THEY HAVE MADE LARGE STRIDES...
"The Wichita Classic was our first meet last year as a club," said Coach Anthony Bannon.
(C'mon Ladies All-the way!)
... AND TURNED MANY CORNERS...
"We quadrupled our numbers this year in trophies and success."
AND AT THE WICHITA SPEED-SKATING CLASSIC... THE CHEYENNE CHAPTER OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACING... WHISKED BY THE COMPETITION.
"When they called that we got the High-Point Award, everybody started screaming from our team because we didn't know that we were going to get it," explained 10 year-old Brianna Bocox. "We have less skaters than most of those people."
"I was happy we got the first place trophy overall and I was happy for everybody else," added 12 year-old Blake Nichols.
(Ben) In the time it would take for me to put on these skates, the entire team could probably go around the rink not once, not twice but thrice - and that's if I was hurrying. They know something about success - this past week in Wichita, the team won a total of 29 trophies!
"Just to see the looks on their faces - and the Awe in the other people's eyes from other skating rinks and teams that we came with a vengeance this year - It was just awesome," recalled Bannon.
"For them to go off to an actual invitational and do so well is pretty impressive," said Coach Eric Fountain.
