Team HiPer Dominates Opening Cross Country Race of 2007

 

LAWRENCE, Kan, March 7, 2007 – The opening round of the 2007 Grand National Cross Country championship in Vero Beach, Florida showed the dominance of Team HiPer and HiPer Technology’s Tech 3 ATV racing wheel.  Our legendary durability and light weight carried more riders to top finishes than any other wheel.

The most notable class win was in the Women’s division with the first four finishers riding on HiPer’s Tech 3 ATV wheels.  Traci Cecco led the field home, followed by Jennifer Albright, Lexie Coulter, and Angel Atwell.  Stefanie Verkade rounded out the top ten with an eighth place finish, giving HiPer five of the top ten finishers.

The men’s XC1 Pro class saw a strong eleven of the top twenty finishers on HiPer wheels.  The top placing Team HiPer rider was once again Chris Borich.  Ryan Morphew crossed the line in fifth, with other Team HiPer riders Chris Bithell, Bryan Cook, and Chris Jenks all finishing in the top ten.  Walker Fowler finished first in Youth Production, while Brandon Summers won the XC2 Pro Am class with two more Team HiPer riders in the top ten. 

“HiPer wheels were needed today” said Jennifer Albright after a career high second place finish.  “I ran hard all day and never had a bent wheel no matter how tough the terrain.”

Team HiPer’s riders will be racing at the second round of the Grand National Cross Country championship March 10, 2007 in Washington, Georgia and round one of the ATVA Championship moto-cross series March 10, 11, 2007 in Pell City, Alabama.
