The youngsters were out in force last weekend during BC Cup action in Fernie.
Mack Manietta (2:52.83) led a Sea to Sky podium sweep for U15 boys alongside second-placer Sebastien Harrisson (2:53.55) and his brother Xavier in third (2:55.00).
At the other end of the spectrum, it was a gold medal for Jackson Frew amidst pro men (2:38.36). Johnathan Helly (2:42.88) found enough speed for silver, and bronze went to Max Halchuk (2:45.26).
Vaea Verbeeck prevailed in the pro women's race (3:12.60) in front of runner-up Bailey Goldstone (3:12.61) and Ainhoa Ijurko who placed third (3:23.24).
Caileigh Koppang (3:09.92) and Cami Bragg (3:11.86) occupied the second and third steps of the girls age 15-16 podium respectively, though neither could quite catch Tayte Proulx-Royds (3:07.31). Bragg's father Kal was the fastest among men aged 45 to 54.
It was a similar tale in the ladies' 17-18 division, as Whistlerite Megan Bedard (3:25.45) and Pembertonian Rebecca Beaton (3:29.31) took silver and bronze behind victor Natasha Miller (3:20.10).
Wyatt Harrington's golden effort (2:45.83) put him a cut above fellow men's 17-18 expert riders Anthony Shelly (2:46.48) and Jacob Quist (2:48.38) in that order.
Other champions include Cole Gautrey (boys' 15-16), Ryder Wilson (boys' expert 15-16), Ethan Eskelin (men's sport 17-18), Aiden Greanya (men's sport 19-34), Ruby Wells (girls U15), and Julie Colk (ladies' 35-44).
