A July 10 look at the 2011 National Championships. Canadian Masters Road Nationals wrapped up last week, USA Junior Road Nationals finished in late June, and Junior Track Nationals finish today. Let's take a quick look at the successes of three teammates in four National Championship events
Rob Anderson (56) has travelled on many occasions to his homeland to compete in the Canadian National Championships and this year he came home with both the time trial and the road race championships.
Andrew Lanier Junior (18) popped over to track nationals in Frisco, TX after wrapping up road nationals in Augusta, GA. In the first two days he competed in the six event omnium and placed 6th, then came back the next morning to qualify for the gold medal ride in the team pursuit. Then, in the heat of the Texas day, he won his USA National Championship in the points race.
Jack Maddux (14) was crashed out of the 13-14 road race on the first day of competition at the USA Junior Road National Championships. He picked himself up, got into his head that he could still achieve his goal of winning a national championship and then went out and won the time trail the very next day.
Persistence is a great attribute to take through life. Congratulations to Rob, Andrew Jr and Jack. Best of luck to those racing at Masters Nationals and Masters Worlds later in the year. Cheers, Larry
