SBX qualifier Hinich captures place on podium after difficult race
Castle Mountain, AB ~ Searchmont's Myrica Hinich moved one step ahead while finishing 2nd of 17 racers during the Finals in the Snow Board Cross Championship at Castle Mountain, Alberta on Sunday.
On Saturday Hinich also qualified, but participants collided during the first heat, which moved her back to 12th place, yet leaving her relatively unharmed.
Participants were predominantly Canadian, with others from Norway, Japan, New Zealand and the USA.
According to one of the B.C. Provincial Snowboard coaches, independent SBX racer Hinich is firmly “on the radar” of the B.C. Provincial Team after her last three solid race results, with an invitation to attend the selection camp in April at Whistler.
At the moment Hinich also needs to pursue serious financial sponsorships which will enable her to top her present success and advance to the next level. She is well on her way to that level.
Hinich came in 3rd in the B.C. Provincial Finals at Big White, 4th in the B.C. Provincial Series race at Big Red, and 7th in the Nationals at Cypress Mtn in April 2007. She qualifies for the 2008 Nationals, which will take place on April 4th and 5th at Cypress Mtn near Vancouver.
Sponsors at this time include Fuzed Notions Graphic Designs; Algoma's Watertower Inn, Filtrec Technical Filtration & Main Filter Group.
