While none advanced past pool play, coaches say the experience against top national competition fueled major growth and pride in representing Vail Valley, building on last year’s Presidents Cup successes.
   

• Royal Air Force returns to the skies above Eagle County (vaildaily.com) — If you’ve noticed unusually loud, massive jets overhead this week, Royal Air Force C-17 Globemaster III transport planes are conducting high-altitude training around Eagle County Regional Airport.
