In March, Will won the combined women’s snowboarding state title at the Ski and Snowboard Championships at Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort after barely beating out Tate Harkness of Mount Shasta High School.

Harkness earned a fifth-place finish at the snowboard nationals in Colorado.

"Both girls fought hard in the final runoff, consisting of head-to-head races against other women to end up in their final positions," said Paul Schwartz, the snowboarding team coach at Shasta High and the North Division CNISSF coordinator.

Schwarz got in on the action, too. On Tuesday, he won a silver medal in the 60-plus age group.

In addition to Will and Harkness, other high school snowboarders representing Northern California were Thomas Lutz and Joseph Vericker, both of Shasta High, Justin Youngman of Foothill and Flynn Davis of Chico High.

The tournament brings together racers from the United States as well as Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand and Japan.

In other racing results from the second half of the USASA nationals, Harkness won seventh place Wednesday in junior women's boardercross.

Also Wednesday in the giant slalom, Davis was fifth in the junior men’s division while Vericker finished 17th.

A crash and an injury slowed two other local racers. Youngman crashed in his second race and finished 26th after a first run of 38.70 seconds that put him in a Top 10 finish. In youth men, Lutz, who still was recovering from a shoulder injury in boardercross, finished 39th.

On the men’s side for slalom Thursday, Chico's Doyle won the bronze medal in the junior men’s division. Youngman took ninth place while Vericker came in 14th. Lutz finished 34th in the men’s youth division.

"Overall, a very successful showing for the North State snowboarders in a very tough field of racers from across North America and around the world, in the world's premier amateur snowboarding event," Schwartz said.
