And a belated congrats to Kalvin Davis of UNM

for finishing 8th in the recent inaugural Collegiate BMX National Champonships held in Chula Vista CA. Kalvin won all three rounds in the first set of motos, awesome! His efforts also managed to get UNM to finish 5th out of 7 teams, despite being the sole rider from his team this year at the event.

Congrats Kalvin!!!!!

Congrats to Omnium winners and Natls qualifiers

Congrats to team omnium winners NAU (Div 1) and NMSU (Div 2)! The individual omnium winners were: Men A Div 2 men: Alejandro Gomez (NMSU) and Men A Div 1 men: Nathan Franklin (NAU); Men B Div 1 men: Triston Mosbacher (UNM); Men C Div 1 men: David Roppel (ASU) and Div 2 men: Chris Goen (NMSU); Women A Div 1: Laura Zschaechner (UNM); and Women B Div 1: Erin Osborne (NAU). You all should be receiving your awards shortly in the mail.

NAU and NMSU won the team competition for Nationals qualification, but only a few riders qualified from the SW by meeting the race requirements. Those qualified are: Men A Div 2 - Alejandro Gomez (NMSU); Men A Div 1 - Nathan Franklin (NAU) and Scott Countryman (NAU); and Women A Div 1 - Laura Zschaechner (UNM). Congrats! I have authorized you to register for Nationals via the USAC site.

Thanks again to all the racers, coaches, promoters, team members and other support staff who have produced another great spring road season. :-)

Never mind - Tierra del Sol cancelled altogether

Sorry...ignore (most of) the last post... Tierra del Sol has been cancelled in its entirety....thanks Brent for staying on top of it and letting me know.

So we really are done this time. In the next day or so I'll post a list of the teams & individuals who are eligible for Road Nationals.

Tierra del Sol will not have collegiate categories

All -

Despite the best efforts of Brent and Mark, the promoters of Tierra del Sol this weekend (Saturday) decided not to add collegiate categories into their road race this weekend.

Sorry. So in essence the road season is done. I will be mailing out the trophies in the next week or so.

Although I can't technically count the points since there are no collegiate categories, for those of you who still want to do TDS, I can count it as a legitimate start for those of you whom are As, similar to what I did last year at the Tucson Bike Classic. I know it's short notice of the "cancellation" (ie no collegiate categories) and some of you are probably registered, so it's the best I can do to try to make it "right" in some sense without giving everyone points.

Again, I apologize. i know there have been a few cancellations this season, and for the most part it has been out of everyone's hands. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make it a successful season despite these setbacks. You all are great!

Updated points up & Tierra del Sol

All -

It was great seeing you all this weekend, including some new faces. Thanks for racing & congrats to all of the criterium champions!

The points have been updated to reflect the Adoption Exchange results.

I'm waiting on the Tierra del Sol flyer; I'll post it as soon as I receive it.

Thanks all!
