Thirty-two national titles awarded as Masters Track Nats wrap up
Christine Phillips, Kimberly Edwards, Suzanne Goodwin, Gea Johnson and Stephanie Hsieh show off their medals from the 40-44 women's time trial.
Nineteen riders earned the right to call themselves the fastest in the country in their age division of the 500-meter and one kilometer time trial. One of the action-packed day’s most exciting TT stories was that of Rita Kacala (Racine, WI/ RPM/Hayes Brake). Kacala posted an unofficial world record breaking time of 39.856 in the 55-59 women’s event which would have put her right up there with the 30-34 and 35-39 women’s winners and ahead of many of the men in her age group. Richard Voss (Littleton, CO/Hammer Racing Team) posted the top overall 500-meter time of the day with a 35.933 in the 50-54 men’s division. Thirty-four-year-old Joshua Ryan (Chicago, IL/ Bouledogue Tout Noir) recorded a 1:09.185 for the top one-kilometer time of the day. View all of Sunday’s Time Trial champions here.
