Junior B Games Team Report 2003

The Junior B Team: Trainer: Jill Offer; Nicola McCleod, Katie Pearson, Caitlyn Cunningham, Laura Graham and Tyler McWilliam.

The Junior B team this year consisted of Katie Pearson on Tilly, Laura Graham on Breeze, Katelyn Cunningham and Sugar, Nicola MacLeod and CoCo and Lucy Stewart and TJ.

Three of the five came up this year from last years Junior C team where they had obviously learned well many of the skills they needed.

Although we were fortunate this year in that we didn’t have many races in which riders needed to get on and off, we still had the stepping stone race to contend with. This race became known as the ‘Granny race’ in the B team since it took some of them so long to get on!

The Bs started out the games season well usually finishing well up the placings.

Although nerves got the better of them at the Areas, all the B team members improved immensely over the season and by the time we went up to the Blair Atholl competition they were running smoothly and efficiently with very few mistakes.

In fact you could say they were the very best of the Junior Bs. They worked hard all year.
