ETSU
Downhill and Slalom
Bring Wins

Good day on Saturday, April 14th for the GROMs. ETSU team put on a fun downhil and slalom race on the campus of East Tennessee State University. One great thing to see at this event were all the young riders. GROMs did well and hopefully encouraged some of the younger riders to give DH and slalom riding some focus. Here are the GROM results for ETSU: 

DH Jr. Results: 1st Jay Fesperman, 4th Eric Vest
DH Pro: 3rd Ben Calhoun
Slalom Pro: 1st Jay Fesperman, 4th Ben Calhoun
