Sol Vista was the site for the 2008 Colorado State Championships this past weekend. Not being a DEVO team race, only 5 racers and 3 coaches took the long drive on and competed for the title. Of the 8, DEVO brought home 3 titles. Alicia Rose Pastore took the junior expert womens by storm and put three minutes on second place to win the championship race. The stacked field included two ladies who competed in the World Championships in Italy earlier this spring. U-14er Sepp Kuss took the holeshot and never looked back, winning the junior sport title by over a minute. Using his natural climbing ability to outclimb his competitors up the gradual 30 min climb and then holding them off on the downhill with his newfound descending skills, Sepp smiled his way across the finish line. Coach Chad Cheeney took the top time of the day winning the Super D championship for a second year in a row. Flatting on his only practice run 20 minutes before the race, former FLC Cycling coach Keith Darner loaned him a fine Yeti steed and he won.
Other DEVO results from the weekend; Chase Orrick 8th jr ex men, Gino Pastore 9th jr ex men, Evan Elliott 11th semi pro dh, Kyle Horn 15th jr ex dh, Annie Cheeney 2nd sport women, and Chad 3rd singlespeed.
