FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS-SUNPAY, JUNE 18, IWO
SKATE From page IB
Downing bases his qualifying pre
dictions on how his team has already
fared this year against outside oppo
sition. Last Thanksgiving his team
placed third in a meet in Greensboro,
N.C. Those meets were backed up
with two more thirds in Orlando. Fla.
(January) and Springfield, Mo., in
April.
"We consider those as major meets
because there are a lot of competitors
from up north that attend them." said
Downing. "As you can see we did real
well in all three (meets)."
There are others who have the tal
ent to go a long way this year. Tops on
the list are Ryan Cox (primary 7-9),

They work extremely hard at it,”
said Downing. ‘They train six days a
week indoors. Then they also spend
time outside of the building doing
things like riding bicycles and train
ing at health spas.”
A perfect example of training is
Downing who last year put over 5,000
miles on his bike.
'This isn’t a summer-time sport,”
said Downing. "The kids train 12
months out of the year. The nationals
are in August then the first meet of
the new season will be sometime in
October. First comes the regionals
and I feel we’re in good shape to
make some good things happen.”
