The Brophy/Xavier Mountain Biking Team traveled to Wren Arena, Fort Huachuca, near the southern border southeast of Tucson, on Saturday, November 7. They spent the day participating in the Arizona Cycling Association (ACA) State Championships.

The ACA is made up of Division 1 and Division 2, and each division has two conferences: North and South. The season is made up of four regular season races plus the State Championships. For Brophy/Xavier, the regular season is a time to compete only against the other South Conference teams in Division 1.

On Saturday, the eleven teams that combine to make up the North and South conferences of Division 1 come together to crown an ACA Division 1 State Champion.

1st - 4185 pts - Flagstaff (North)
2nd - 4078 pts - Prescott (North)
3rd - 3969 pts - Canyon del Oro (South)
4th - 3928 pts - Northland Prep (North)
5th - 3595 pts - Buena (South)
6th - 3587 pts - Brophy/Xavier (South)

Each rider is assessed a certain number of points based on their category (Varsity, JV1, JV2, or Freshman) and their finishing place.

The team score consists of the top eight individual scores on that team, but must include at least two for each gender.

Two Xavier riders' individual scores contributed to the team score.

The top individual scorer for the team was Brophy's FR William George, who scored 500 points for taking first in the Boys Freshman race. At least one Brophy boy from each category contributed to the team score.

Maizie Mason (14th place, 402 pts) and Elizabeth Villalba (15th place, 396 pts), competing in the Freshmen race, were the other two Xavier racers.
