CSRT opens season
with Cooper Camp
 

January 15, 2008

The Cooper Spur Race Team held its annual five-day “Cooper Camp” Dec 27-31.

The event draws kids from the Hood River Valley as well as many other surrounding areas.

The CSRT set a new record this year with over 110 kids ages 5-13 at the camp.

The camp wraps up on the final day with the Cooper Cup race for all camp participants.

As with all CSRT races, the campers raced in male and female categories divided by age ranges.

In addition to age ranges, the prestigious Cooper Cup is awarded to the fastest girl and boy in the race. This year’s Cooper Cup winners were Raquel Bruggeman and Charlie Mallon.

In addition, the widely sought- after “Coaches Cup” which followed the Cooper Cup was won with gate-shattering speed shown by coaches Kelsey Spadaro and Jeff Bardin.

The next CSRT race at Cooper Spur will be the Diamond Dual Slalom race hosted Jan. 20.

In other CSRT news, the team is also working to develop a scholarship fund, and will soon be auctioning on eBay a ski lift chair donated by Mt. Hood Meadows from the former “Yellow Chair Lift” to start funding of the scholarship.
