JUSTIN RODBELL / MOTOCROSS
The ages of 16-24...a time where transcripts are filled, report cards are sent, and scholarship questionnaires are mailed a dime a dozen. All in hopes to get accepted into that prestigious university, enroll in your necessary classes, and jumpstart your way to a solid career.

As many of these guys have just gradu- ated from the Schoolboy division, and are a few years from the 25+ crowd. It’s a pivotal moment in their careers, as the right moves here, can propel them into a successful job opportunity; but if they falter, it can provide lackluster test scores, and lackluster enthusiasm from their future employer.

Cory Carsten, a New Jer- sey native, looked to set the tone early, after a perfectly executed start. Trey Fegert, from North Carolina, was the man on the move however.
