by Susan O'Donnell
The FC Juniors category
racers competed in the Hincapie Greenville Spring Training Series at
the Donaldson Center road race on Sunday, 3/7/10. It was a great day for
the team. A total of eleven FC Juniors competed on the course. The team
members had successful and fun races. The fields were exceptionally large.
Results as follows:
Cat 3 & 4 Women (35
miles)
Zoe Frazier placed 8thnd in Cat 3. Dominique Shore and
Stephanie Cucaz placed in the top 10 for Cat 4. It should be noted that
Frazier riders were able to avoid a crash at the end of the very crowded
race.
Cat 3 Men (49
miles)
Philip O’Donnell placed 5th. Teammate Ethan Zehr finished in
the pack.
Cat 4 Men (35 miles)
Gustavo Gonzalez, Fletcher Lydick, Russell Tindol finished in the middle
of the peloton of this very crowded, competitive field.
FC would also like to thank
Hincapie Sports for the presentation by
Rich Hincapie to Russell Tindol of a
National Champion Jersey signed by George Hincapie. Russell was recognized
for his return to the racing series where he crashed 2 years ago. As a
result of that crash, Russell needed a cat scan of his head trauma and a
brain tumor was discovered. He then began immediate treatment for his
cancer. He successfully battled the cancer and returned to training 1 year
later. He remains
cancer free today. |
