Dover 10-year-old Sadie McKinlay recently competed in the USASA National Snowboarding Championships at Copper Mountain in Colorado - and was rewarded handsomely for her efforts.
Sadie placed 10th in the half pipe competition on March 31, then took a stunning first place in the boardercross (BX) event on April 4 in the Girls Grommet division, besting qualifiers from across the country.
McKinlay has been snowboarding for years, trying to keep up with her older sister, Kayla; she trained and competed this winter at Mount Snow, Vermont.
