The second in a series of two gymkhanas hosted by the Watch Lake/North Green Lake Community Association this summer was held Aug. 11 at the Green Lake gymkhana grounds.
The event drew 55 competitors, including seven youngsters who delighted the crowd by riding the race patterns at their own speed in the lead line division.
At the end of the day, season aggregate awards were handed out and in the senior division, the winner was Nicole Hoessl with 22 points and Punky Mulvahill was the runner-up with 14.
Tianna Johnny was the intermediate division champ with 26 points and Taylor Stewart accumulated 19 to finish as runner-up.
The junior aggregate award went to Taylor McCullough with 22 points and Kailey Dube with 20 was runner-up.
John Noskey reeled in the peewee aggregate with a total of 26 points and Wyatt McCullough was the runner-up with 21 points.
Event volunteer Mark McMillan says riders came from Aldergrove, Chilliwack, Courtenay, Prince George, Williams Lake, Clinton and from all over the South Cariboo to compete in the decades-old event.
