Not a big turnout tonight at the oval, I think people’s summer schedules are filling up.  Still some great racing with Juniors, Fitness/Women and Advanced groups racing their hearts out.

Leaders jerseys remain with Ryan Mullery (Juniors), Paul Engle (Fitness), Martha Flynn-Kauth (Women’s), Andrew Hanson (Advanced) and Danny Frederick keeps the Pro jersey–as there were not Pro racers tonight.

Tim Anderson, fresh from the Midwest Skate Club technique clinic this weekend, won the Fitness category.  He had no problems with the oval corners, even though it was his first time racing there.

Tim’s wife Kalo stepped in as SIS photographer.  I think Daryl was at the Twin’s game.  Here’s the link to her photos.

Last chance for racing at the oval–Wednesday, September 1st!

Racing this Wednesday, August 18th. Racing begins at 7:00, registration starts at 6:30.
