Mountain Biking Inspires Students
The first goal of Blaine County School District's Strategic Plan is to inspire every student through meaningful opportunities. The Wood River High School Mountain Bike team is one of many opportunities that connects students to school and their passions. During the Board of Trustees meeting Dr. GwenCarol Holmes said, "We would like to thank each of you for seeking your passion and representing Wood River in such an inspiring way."
The team currently consists of 38 students and 24 volunteer coaches, organized by Wood River High School teacher Joel Zellers and Cameron Lloyd, as well as WRHS teacher James Foster. It is an all-inclusive sport that is one of many clubs at Wood River High School. The team is focused on: riding for life, friendship, and being stewards of our environment.
The team is a part of the Interscholastic Cycling Association which trains and certifies the volunteer coaches. It is sponsored by over 18 community sponsors in the Wood River Valley. Sponsors include,
