Eyes On The Prize Rider Claire Buchwalter focuses on the course Sunday during the Idaho Pump Track State Championships in Ketchum. The event, part of the annual Ride Sun Val-ley Bike Festival, attracted 84 riders. Buchwalter was the winner of the girls 6-years-old-and-under class, with a two-lap average time of 19.095 seconds. Her in-tensity and pedaling prowess matched or exceeded many other contenders in the field. For more photos of the festival, see Page A16. Photo by Willy Cook
