RUHPOLDING, Germany – A U.S. youth women’s relay team including Grace Boutot of Fort Kent and Hilary McNamee of Fort Fairfield had a clean shooting day and wound up 14th, while Madawaska’s Meagan Toussaint was on the 10th-place junior women’s team Saturday as competition in the Youth/Junior Biathlon World Championships wrapped up.

Boutot, McNamee and Toussaint all compete for the Caribou-based Maine Winter Sports Center.

Boutot and McNamee, along with Addie Byrne of Bovey, Minn., used nine spare rounds in the 3-by-6-kilometer race but did not have to ski any penalty loops to finish 12 minutes, 26 seconds behind winner Germany. There were 16 teams in the competition but just six that, like the U.S., did not ski any penalty loops.

The U.S. junior women, who also competed in a 3x6K format, were 8:56.8 behind Germany, which also won the junior race. The U.S. team, which included MWSC skier Laura Spector of Lenox, Mass., and Brynden Manbeck of Grand Rapids, Minn., had four penalties in its race.

The next biathlon competition for the U.S. will be the senior Biathlon World Championships starting Feb. 8 in Ostersund, Sweden. MWSC skier Russell Currier of Stockholm was named Friday to the U.S. men’s team.
