Congratulations to Germantown's High School athletes Alexander Seboe, William Heller and Chet Davis as well the middle school athletes Jeffery Hilgendorf and Lukas Heller for the great job they did on their final mountain bike race of the season – the Red Barn State Championship at Trek Trails in Waterloo – on Sunday. There were over 1170 athletes racing across the different categories with 69 athletes in Alexander's category, 74 in William's, 89 in Chet's, 118 in Jeffery's and 110 in Lukas'. Due to the overnight rain, the races were delayed by an hour and some course modifications were made for the athletes' safety. As the day went on the trails dried out and it turned into a perfect fall day. Alexander took the podium with 5th place in his race, and 8th in the overall race series for the season.
