Sprinters Doing Well!

The last two weeks, A few of my riders have done pretty well on the track. On May 30th, Matt Donovan set a new PR at the San Diego velodrome with his 200 meter. Matt Recorded a time of 11.18 seconds. This was good enough for him to qualify third for the sprint tournament, behind 2 elite level riders. He gave a good showing and wound up in third place for the night as. Matt is going well, and has now set his sights on Master's Track National Championsips in August .

Josepgh Lacour meanwhile, competed in the Texas Master's Track Championships, on June 9th and 10th, just barely missing out on a gold medal..... 3 times. Joe wound up 2nd in the match sprints, 2nd in the 1k time trial, and his team was second in the team sprint. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.... at least for the weekend. That's Ok. Joe is not really experienced on the track, and this time next year he'll be tough to beat. Besides, Joe got his first win as a cat 2 rider just about a month ago at the Moritz Chevrolet criterium in Fort Worth TX, and I'm sure there are more to come.
