YIP YIP Coyotes!

Meet the Team

The Garrett County Coyotes team is an interscholastic mountain biking team for Garrett County students in grades 6-12. The team is a member of the Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League (MIL) and the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA).

The Maryland Interscholastic Cycling League was organized in 2017 to provide a fun, safe and high quality mountain biking program and the League is committed to teaching safe riding practices. We believe that a team of middle and high school-aged students is the best way for kids to learn how to ride safely, to acquire safe riding techniques, and to develop the ability to teach these skills to others.

NICA-sanctioned races provide student-athletes an arena in which to set and accomplish competitive goals and to achieve their personal best. Our team participates in a 4- or 5-race schedule, held in the Fall each year. Also, each student spends some time to come up with their own individual goals for the season.
