Their teams have grown and we are lucky to have them as good competitors and friends in the Mid Penn,” said Mifflin County coach Alex Monroe. “We were fortunate enough to achieve our first perfect score which is pretty cool. It was hard fought and we are continuing to build on momentum from Altoona.”

“If I could recognize everyone I would because this team is on fire right now. Some highlights include Reese Cubbison who jumped back into racing this week and didn’t miss a beat. Koy Aurand who is finding confidence and consistency in his effort with every race,” said Monroe. “Hart Oden who is my scrappy racer and always fighting for every place. Finally, David Snyder from our JV squad who ran to a nice PR today.”
