Sixteen-year-old Calhoun cyclist Tyson Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donnie Price of
Grantsville, has won the West Virginia Mountain Bike Championship in his category,
Men's Junior Sport under 18. He received a crystal trophy and a yellow jersey,
signifying he is a champion cyclist.
Price participated in the event last Sunday at Little Creek Park in Kanawha County.
