BOZEMAN, Mont. — The Mount Washington Valley was well-represented at the U.S. Biathlon Senior Nationals in Bozeman, Montana, last Thursday to Sunday at the Crosscut Mountain Sports Center. The three-day event highlighted racing from the U15 to Master divisions and served as the U.S. National Championships for Seniors as well as the U.S. Biathlon Collegiate National Championships.

In biathlon, competitors race on skis and then attempt to hit five targets — 1.8 inches in diameter, 50 meters (164 feet) away — from a prone position. They then shoot from a standing position at targets that are 4.5 inches in size, and also 50 meters away.
