Xterra Buffalo Creek

The Buffalo Creek Xterra, second largest Xterra event after Worlds in Maui, was the first Xterra event in Colorado in 2008 and was the EPC Xterra Team's debut event as a whole team. People took notice and impressions were certainly made as the entire team took home hardware.
  • Sara Tarkington, 1st place Pro female

  • Ed Oliver, 1st place amateur

  • Luke Jay, 2nd age-group

  • Rickey Tolliver, 2nd age-group

  • Kathy Placchi 2nd age group

  • Cary Kinross-Wright, 2nd age-group

  • Julie Bruckman, 3rd age-group

  • Cody Waite, 4th place Pro male.
Not a bad showing indeed! Look for more strong results in the coming months as Team EPC looks to dominate the Mountain Region Xterra scene as they roll towards Nationals in October. Enjoy some pics from the Buffalo Creek day:
