Competing at a pair of weekend events, the Davis Bike Club’s Junior Team had several strong finishes.

At the Folsom Classic Criterium on Saturday, locals Killian Bush and Parker Miller raced in the boys and girls 9-12 category, with Parker taking second place.

Davis’ Anna Park finished third, just ahead of teammate Su Tuli (fourth) in the girls 13-18 race, while Will Kanz, David Leon, Magnus Bush and Jack Hargrove performed well in the boys 13-18 division.

In Monday’s Memorial Day Criterium at Morgan Hill, Miller earned another second-place finish as he raced with Killian Bush in the boys and girls 10-12 group.

Tuli — who took fourth — and Hargrove (fifth) were strong in the boys and girls 13-14 division.

With the 15-16 boys and the 17-18 boys racing together, the younger Magnus Bush helped Kanz take third place in the older division.

Youth water polo

Earlier this month seven members of the Davis Water Polo Club were invited to try out for U.S. national teams in their respective age groups and two — Cameron Wright of Davis and Nick Carniglia of Lodi — were selected to play for the American squads.

Wright, a ninth-grader at Harper who helped Davis High win the section title last fall, earned a spot on the boys national cadet team after a strong showing at the 16U tryout in Costa Mesa. Carniglia competed against the nation’s top 75 18U boys in Orange County and emerged with a spot on the U.S. men’s junior squad.

Five DWPC girls also earned invitations to Team USA camps as ninth-grader Katrina Sturm was vying for a spot on the U.S. women’s national cadet team, while Scout Brown, Emily Tapio, Avery Warhover and Reese Oliver tried out for the 14U development squad.

The Davis Water Polo Club offers competition and instruction for new and continuing athletes in the sport of water polo and is accepting summer-session registration from boys and girls.
