Four more added to USA Cycling track talent pool

USA Cycling added four riders to its 2007 Track Talent Pool to bring the total number of riders now eligible to represent the US in international competition to 29. At this weekend's qualifier in Los Angeles, two men and two women, out of 60 total entrants, met specific time standards.

The four new riders include Christen King (South Bay Wheelmen), Kele Murdin, Curtis Gunn (Team Successful Living) and Kenny Williams (First Rate Mortgage). They earned their spots after fast performances in mass start events. Gunn clocked a time of 3 minutes 25.131 seconds in the men’s three-kilometer event and Williams turned in a 3:30.197. In the women’s two-kilometer mass start race, King posted a 2:34.382 and Murdin a 2:33.457 to meet the time standards. The athletes met not only the time standard at the finish, but also at the 500m mark.
