Fort Lewis College completed its sweep of all four Division I men's events at the 2006 Norba Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships. Chris Heath won the final downhill competition to secure the overall Division I title for Fort Lewis College--its third championship in the last four years.
Fort Lewis College earned a total of 698 points to edge defending champion University of Colorado by 25 points. Fort Lewis swept the short track and mountaincross events on opening day, and continued its domination during the cross-country held on day two. In the final day's downhill, Heath clocked a winning time of 5 minutes, 8.06 seconds, earning himself the individual downhill title while solidify an overall win for Fort Lewis. A school's overall point tally counted results from both the men's and women's events, so a third place effort from Sarah Elworthy in the Division I women's downhill also factored heavily into Fort Lewis's overall win.
Western State College won the overall Division II crown with 655 points to Warren Wilson College's 632. Amy Scherm notched valuable points for the Gunnison-based school with a win in the women's downhill race to give Colorado institutions a sweep of the team titles.
Along with Fort Lewis College and Western State College earning team honors, four individual overall champions were also crowned Sunday as
points from the weekend's four events--short track, cross-country,mountain cross-counryand downhill--were added together to name a men's and
women's champion from each division. With a victory in both the short
track and cross-country events, Alex Hagman (Fort Lewis College) earned
the overall Division I men's title.
The Division I women's title went to Caroline Jarolimek (University of
Colorado), who despite not winning any individual events, captured the overall title. Jarolimek's top result was a second place effort in the mountaincross race. A sixth place finish in the cross-country event and a pair of eighth's in the short track and downhill gave her enough points to secure the title.
Douglas Shryock (University of Montana) claimed the Division II men's championship after solid performances in the endurance events left him with a third place result in the short track race and an eighth in the cross-country. An 18th place finish in the mountaincross and a 21st in the downhill insured Shyrock's victory. Kate Chapman (Western State College) took home the stars-and-stripes jersey in the Division II women's overall classification. The talented all-arounder won the mountaincross and placed fourth in the short track, fifth in the cross-country and fifth in the downhill.
