A first-place finish for the Steamboat Springs High School team in Division II was led by Aidan and Caleb Haack, who finished in second and fourth place, respectively.
The Steamboat Mountain School team raced in Division III and placed third overall.
The 18-mile ride for the varsity racers proved to be difficult while the 12-mile course for the other classes was dominated by Steamboat athletes.
Mary Mclarnon and Abby Olson placed second and third among junior varsity girls and Eva Minotto took home gold for the freshman girls.
The team’s next race will be a home race in Steamboat on Saturday, Sept. 24.
