It looked like the 4^th Annual Bozeman’s Biathlon (run 1.5 miles and bike 11 miles) was going to be very hot due to weather conditions, but fortunately it turned cooler for the 6:00 PM start. Thirty-six ultra distance athletes completed the “sprint distance” in record time to enjoy the cookout and awards banquet held at the home of Steve and Debbie Bozeman. Local Ironman competitors (husband/wife team) of Van and Kat Phillips finished in the top five. Ryan Owen (age 14) was the ultimate overall winner in a time of 39 minutes and 11 seconds followed by his dad (Martin) a split second later. Everyone enjoyed the competition, camaraderie and cookout afterwards. The following awards were presented:

Top 3 Males: Ryan Owen, Martin Owen, Chris Bright

Top 3 Females: Kat Phillips, Donna Elder, Gabby Suygam

30-39 age division: Van Phillips, Mark Stephens, John Salmon

40-49 age division: Carl Thurston, Ron Riscart, Jim McFarland

50-59 age division: Robert Burgess, Bob Hartless, Bobby Babcock
