junior track championships

Sunday was the Track State Championship at Hellyer Velodrome. The 13-14 category had three events which counted as an omnium. My first event of the day was the 500m time trial. After a false start, I placed 3rd. The next event was a 12 lap scratch race and I finished 2nd. I was tied with Zeke Mostov in the omnium after the first two events. The last event was the points race that consisted of 24 laps and sprints at every 6 laps. I got 3rd, so I ended up 3rd in the omnium. It was my 3rd time at the track this year, so I didn't have high expectations.
