Our March issue featured the Millstream Gardens-Silver Mines 42nd annual Whitewater Races both on the cover and inside.

Mark Wehking, a member of the Missouri Whitewater Association, was kind enough to send us the results. As it turns out, it’s a 5 page Excel spreadsheet, with enough numbers and divisions to make an accountant happy.  I don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of the various classes, but I thought we could at least list the winners here.

Saturday Slalom. Men: Brian Heikenen, Peter Witucki, Chuck McHenry (2 classes), Chris Pelzer, Milo Bookout, Pete Larson, Joe Satori.

Saturday Slalom. Women: Natalie Courson (2 classes), Piper Wall, Jojo Newbold, Joey Yeaple.

Saturday Boatercross: Men: Jerry Schafroth; Women: Piper Wall.

Saturday Downriver: Vince Swoboda, Diane McHenry, Chuck McHenry, Kurt Pelzer, Bill Miles Scott, Swafford. (this does not seem to be segregated by gender.)

Sunday Slalom. Men: Chuck McHenry, Jerry Schaforth, Brian Heikenen, Brian Heikenen/Pete Wituck.

Mixed: David Hirsch/Joey Yeaple.

Women: Joey Yeaple, Piper Wall, Michelle Grimm.

Fastest course times were between 203.06 seconds and 327.21 seconds. The downriver race was completed in 23 minutes, three seconds.

Forty people took part in the races. If you think this sport is for you, more information is available at www.mowhitewater.org.
