SALT LAKE CITY — One of Utah’s fastest growing high school sports doesn’t play its games on a typical hardwood court or grass field. Mountain bikers prefer the scenic trails found around the state for their competitions.
On Aug. 20, the Utah High School Cycling League kicked off its eleventh season that continues every weekend until state championships in late October.
The league is divided into six regions based off a variety of factors but mainly by school population. Each weekend the league holds three races where half of the six regions ride. The following week the other three regions race, and the regions continue trading off weekends until the championships. During the season, each region rides in four races.
Participants earn points based on the position they finish in the race and their overall times. Riders eliminate their worst race of the four and the average score of their three best races will determine who makes it to the championships in a two-day event in St. George.
