The Adventure Sports Center International (ASCI) will host the first of two national caliber competitions this weekend.
The U.S. Canoe and Kayak Whitewater Slalom "Age Group" National Championships combine the Junior and Masters/Legend national championships, and will be held on Sunday morning, June 27.

"It's a serious race for the kids, and a weekend warrior contest of words and occasionally amazing deeds for the old folks," said one veteran slalom racer.

The Age Group Nationals is open to the public and will occur from 7 to 11 a.m. on Sunday. Whitewater rafting trips will be available Sunday after the race for anyone who would like to ride the same rapids.

Members of the 2010 U.S. Junior National Team will earn National Champion titles, and a number of the athletes may go on to the Olympics.

Racing this weekend will be young athletes from as far as Washington state, Colorado, and throughout the East Coast. In particular, the Maryland-based "Bethesda Center for Excellence" (BCE) team, coached by 1989 World Champion silver medalist and two-time Olympic medalist Dana Chladek, will field a full team. BCE is also helping to organize and co-host the event with ASCI.
