Colin Lynch, a freshman honors student at Southern High School, is headed to the USA Snowboarding National Championships at Copper Mountain, Colo., April 1-10. With nearly 2,000 competitors, the championship is the largest snowboarding and freeskiing competition in the world. Every U.S. Olympic Team athlete got a start in the United States Snowboarding Association (USASA).
Lynch is currently ranked fourth overall in the nation in his age group (the largest age group in the competition). Additionally, he is one of only six youths who have qualified for and been invited to compete in all five disciplines: giant slalom, slalom, boardercross, slopestyle, and halfpipe. To qualify, Lynch competed in 20 events during the regular season in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. This is his third appearance at the national competition, but the first time he has been invited to compete in all five events.
Lynch is a member of the Deep Creek Winter Sports Team and competes in the Appalachian region of USASA. He is sponsored locally by High Mountain Sports. His national sponsors are Nitro Snowboards and Bern Helmets. At Southern, Lynch is also a member of the boys' soccer team and the boys' track team.
