JUST EXTRA POLISH. I DO SOME WORK WITH EXCELL SO I KEEP THE CAPS LOCK ON :-P
we both felt really crappy and had no power in our legs. It was quite odd, We never got the results for the crit, but I believe we got 8th and 10th? We were in bad positions on the last lap...
Just to pick up on the parts of the race that were grossly undercovered and replaced by an article talking about crashing and blocking off roads:In the Men's D race Aaron Avenido (Minnesota), Daniel Craig (Minnesota), Cole Hendrickson (Minnesota) and a St. Olaf rider establish a four man breakaway early on. Craig and Hendrickson gapped Avenido and the St. Olaf rider towards the end and Avenido mounted a huge sprint to pass St. Olaf, securing all three podium spots for Minnesota.In the C's Byron Lubenkov (Minnesota) took a flyer off the front within the first three laps that eventually led to his enormous solo victory on the home course. A lap later Eric Brekke (Minnesota) and Karl Schuchard (Minnesota) both attacked and rode away from the field trading half lap pulls to widen their gap. 45 minutes later Lubenkov finished 1st while Brekke and Schuchard crossed the line together taking 2nd and 3rd, well ahead of the main pack, completing the podium sweep.The Men's A pack stayed unified for the majority of the race. Several breakaway attempts were made but were soon chased down and reeled back in. The final pack sprint left Minnesota riders Alex Matson, Mark Holland and Jake Boening pulling down solid finishes in the top 10. The Minnesota team will travel to North Dakota next week to finish their collegiate season at the UND/NDSU race weekend, competing for the Team Time Trial and Road Race Conference Championships which will then determine what teams and riders will compete at Collegiate Road Nationals in Madison, WI.Over 100 riders competed in the open USACycling criteriums including the 4/5 and 1/2/3 races for both Men and Women as well as Juniors after the collegiate races were finished.
