The final day of snowboarding at the 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games featured the ever-exciting boardercross races, where Team Lakeland captured two of the four gold medals handed out, and Rivers West won the most medals with four.

Lakeland’s Sydney Fellman, from Melfort, finished first in the U-17 female race for her third gold medal of the Games, while Thomas Rusk, from Prince Albert, won his first medal, beating out Cullan Medernach from Saskatoon for first in the U-17 male race.

Rivers West once again swept the podium in the U-14 male category.

Battleford’s Madax Ma-L’Heureux finished first for gold, his first medal of the Games, while Rio Tucker and Kasen Humenny finished second and third, respectively. It was the third medal of the games for each of Tucker and Humenny (Tucker one gold and two silver; Humenny one gold and two bronze).
