American Velodrome Challenge

7-11 USOTC Velodrome, Colorado Springs, July 4-5, 2002

Photos     Results

Session 1

After a hot morning of racing the dust is settling on the Colorado Velodrome. This morning brought us pursuit, Women's 500m time trials and Men's Sprint Qualifying. The racing was safe and the speed was high! Several national records fell today, more details on that below.

Session 2 - Colorado's only fireworks at the velodrome!

By Scott Patton

With the extremely dry conditions in Colorado, fireworks are banned. That didn't stop some of America's best cyclist from blowing stuff up! Incredible racing!

Women's Keirin

As the sprint tournement got started, we took a break to run the women's keirin final. Suzie Tignor drew the motor but Rebecca Conzelman wasn't about to let that stop her from going to the front to control this from the beginning. She held the motor until it pulled off. Shortly after that, Tammy Thomas attacked early. Showing she had two 500 meters sprints in her, she solo'd for victory. The rest of the riders came in together with Rebecca Conzelman beating out Suzie for second place.

Men's Points Race

After we lined up the sprint finals, it was time to give the spinters a break and move onto the men's points race. Early on, the race lacked identity. Some short attacks gave riders points but they quickly were discarded as the pace picked up. A powerful break of Colby Peace, Jame Carney, Mike Creed, Kenny Williams and Marcus Black developed. These riders worked well together taking several sprint laps and eventually a lap. With Colby watching Jame and Jame working with teammate, Mike Creed it was anybodies race. Mike Creed took off on a solo break getting a good gap. While off the front Mike managed to win himself a six pack of beer from Breckenridge Bewery and a Chipotle Burrito Prize Pack. Colby worked hard and brought Mike back to the field. It was then the two teammates and Colby working together off the front to take yet another lap. On this mission, Mike managed to score his second six pack of the night! Creed and Carney took turns gaining points on the outnumbered Pearce. Coming in for the final sprint, with another Chipotle Burrito pack on the line, it was Carney taking the double points and winning the race.

Women's 5 Mile

With high wind conditions, the record in this event was unlikely to fall. That opened the race up to a host of other tactics. The field worked well together but when they realized they were off record pace, that all went away. The bell started ringing and it was Missy Thompson winning a Chiptole Burrito Prize Pack! A few laps later with beer on the line Missy decided to make it a good dinner and won herself a Breckenridge Brewery 6 Pack! Missy held a good gap and it looked like this might be the move that would win. The field drove hard, brought Missy back and it came down to a field sprint. Rebecca Conzelman came in for the win followed by Suzie Tignor and Missy Thompson.

Women's Elimination

Another sprint fest going on here between the men's sprint rounds showed us that tomorrow night will be just as exciting. The ladies were battling for position from the gun. As the field was whittled away, it was Rebecca Conzelman taking another win in front of Missy Thompson. Suzie Tignor worked her way into another top three position!

Men's Sprints

I wish I had notes of all the sprint rounds, I don't think words would do most of the justice. The two final rides were incredible. The battle for 4-6 came down to youth vs. experience and or the AAA ride of the night! Anton Quist pulled on his masters world championship skinsuit and headed out agains junior Andy Lakatosh and Espoir Kilo National Champion, Adam Duvendek. It appeared that Andy and Adam seemed to be watching each other which left Anton Quist a little lattitude in his tactics. The pace was high on the first lap when Anton jumped hard leaving the other to chase. In this long drag race to the finish Anton managed to hold off the younger riders with Andy edging out Adam for 5th place overall.

The 1-3 ride kept was set to finish off the night of racing. Giddeon Massie drew the first position, Jame Carney "fresh" off his points race win was next on the track followed by Indy sprint winner, Stephen Alfred. Giddeon and Stephen were really busy watching each other while Jame stalked the two of them in third position. As the riders crossed the start finish line with two laps to go Jame was well hidden behind Giddeon. Jame jumped like there was no tomorrow suprising the big sprinters. Stephen took up the chase with Giddeon on his wheel. Both sprinters used every bit of the banking to gather speed on this 500m drag race. As Steven tired he moved out of the lane just a little bit going into turn three. This opened the door for a hard charging Massie. Giddeon dove underneath and had the now tiring Jame in his sites. At the line, it was Giddeon by less than half a wheel.
