On April 24th, 2010, Frazier Cycling Juniors
pedaled to the podium in the rainy Athens Twilight Criterium. The most
exciting race of the day was the photo-finish in the Men's 10-14 Juniors
race. Fletcher Lydick and James Todd placed 4th and 5th in this bunch
sprint to the line! They were followed closely by teammates Miguel
Gonzalez, Alex Wexler, and Rishi Mocherla. Under extremely wet
conditions, Frazier Men's 15-18 Juniors teammates Andrew Hodges,
Russell Tindol, Sam Tomaka, JJ Cucaz, and Ben Rothschild worked together
to stay with the pack of thirty riders. These same FC riders had
competed earlier in the day in the Men's Cat 4.
In Men's Cat 3, a massive field sprint at the end
of the 17.8-mile race. Frazier Cycling Juniors managed to have two in
the top 25 qualifying positions : Andrew Macrae 24th (41:51.1) and
Philip O’Donnell 25th (41:51.2). Teammate David Goodman followed with
41:51.7. Also in the field sprint were Nick Frazier and Ethan Zehr.
In the first race of the day, the Women's 3-4
Category, FC riders Zoe Frazier won the field spring for 2nd place.
She was followed closely by teammates Stephanie Cucaz, 4th, and
Abigail Aldridge, 5th. The trio qualified for the Twilight Criterium
finals. Dominique Shore followed with a 18th place finish in the
race.
A total of five Frazier Cycling Junior category
riders qualified to ride in the evening Twilight Criterium! This was
the first time in all of our appearances that we have ever qualified
anyone for the evening finals; however, due to deteriorating weather
conditions, the coaches decided not to have the team race for the sake
of safety.
