Orange County, CA - The first day of racing at the USA Cycling Junior National Road Race Championships was very successful for Frazier Cycling Team Members!  Fittingly, a "FRAZIER" became the first Frazier Cycling Member to win a National Championship.  Zoe Frazier was our first team member to race at this year's USA Cycling Junior National Road Championship.  She began her individual time trial at 2:16 p.m. PT, third starter among her classification.   Zoe raced up from Santiago Canyon on her way to win our first National Championship "Stars and Stripes" Jersey in cycling.  But her win was not without drama.  After she finished, Zoe had to wait a few nervous minutes and watch her time remain at the top of the leader board until the final Women's 13-14 starter and favored Karla Lopez, Colavita NM, finished the 11 km course.  By 2:50 p.m., Zoe's win was confirmed as she nudged out Grace Alexander, BYRDS, by 0.10 seconds!  Karla Lopez finished third, +1:11.

After Zoe's win, the team was really fired up!  Philip O'Donnell matched Zoe's top spot on the podium by winning the Men's 10-12 Time Trial.  Philip dominated a strong Men 10-12 field as he became our first boy member to win a championship medal with his National Time Trial Title!

Dominique Shore passed five of her competitors enroot to taking third place, the bronze medal, in the Women's 10-12 classification.
