Compton sticks with SPIKE

Katie Compton, the two-time US national cyclo-cross champion, will be a part of the SPIKE professional cycling team, along with three other US national champions in 2007. Compton raced for the amateur squad this year, and while the professional team focuses mainly on track racing, Compton will finish out the cyclo-cross season and then take to the boards for the US national track series.

Compton has a history on the track, mainly as the pilot for a blind paralympic athlete, and she took part in this year's US national championships in Los Angeles with some success, taking the silver medal in the individual pursuit, 10th in the points race, and 4th in the team sprint.
