This friday, in Banner Elk, North Carolina, kicks off the 2008 Collegiate National Championships for the all terrain mountain bike. Cross country is on friday, downhill and short track on saturday and dual slalom on sunday. Individual champions will be crowned in each event, throughout the week, but the big prize has become the Team Omnium Title. The teams are allowed to score 4 riders in each event, and the team with the most points in the end wins. Fort Lewis College has earned this title many times over, due to the flood of talent that flocks to Durango in hopes of catching a view of Ned Overend on their way to class. The host college, Lees McRae is currently ranked second to FLC and lost the omnium to FLC last year, which was also contested on their home turf. The battle is sure to be amazing. Go Skyhawks!
