BCT success at Big Sky Region Finals

Congrats to the whole Team for a great finish at the Big Sky Region Finals last Saturday at Boise Peak Fitness!
All 11 BCT athletes in attendance earned a spot to the D1 finals-a truly remarkable feat!
In addition, Inge Perkins, Bridget Creel, and Walter Funke took 1st place honors. Chan Leachman, Kevin Macartney, and Andie Creel nabbed 2nd place ribbons. Adam Gianforte and Clyde Harrelson earned 5th in their categories. Jack Schwarze and Kade Leachman got 4th and 7th in a strong male youth category, and Ol' Cale Schwarze rounded out the team with 6th in MYB. I cannot remember a region finals where a team has pulled off 100% of entries getting a 1st round invite to Divisionals.

We also recieved the following Region awards:
MVPs: Kevin Macartney and Inge Perkins.
Rookie of the Year: Bridget Creel.
Most Improved: Walter Funke (BTW, happy birthday Walter).
Most Likely to be President: Adam Gianforte.
Style Award: Bozeman Climbing Team.
Coach of the Year: Aaron Hjelt (no, I didn't pick myself).
