Congrats Silke!

12/30/10 press release from the US Biathlon Association:

"Following the successful conclusion of the trials events today the US Biathlon Association International Competition Committee named the following athletes to the 2011 Youth World Championship Team. The Team will represent the USA at the Championships at Nove Mesto in the Czech Republic from 29 January through 5 February 2011.

Youth Women: Carly Wynn (Saratoga Biathlon, NY), Kelly Kjorlien (Mt. Itasca, MN), Silke Hynes (VT Biathlon), Tara Geraghty-Moats(Craftsbury, VT)"

I wish I had gotten a chance to attend the trials races. From looking through the results posted at http://www.eabiathlon.org/ it looks like Silke was one of the most accurate shooters on the range. In each of the 3 races she had only 2 misses, highlighted by a 0-0-0-2 in Wednesday's pursuit race.

Congratulations Silke!
