Masters, whose family lives in Merrifield, is in his eighth year of racing and was happy with his results this season.

"This year was a rollercoaster with plenty of ups and downs," he said. "I wasn't injured this year. It was a good season with many challenges, but I overcame them to get the championship."

Master's father, Mike, was a two-time state champion and his sister Megan competed in the women's division.

"I would like to thank my family and friends, especially my dad, because without him I would have never been able to achieve my goal of winning the state championship," said Masters.
