Highlighting an already extremely successful season, on Saturday QCW’s JMI riders swept the podium of the Cat 4 race at Grandview, decisively claiming the Pennsylvania Criterium Championship title!
The race recap from JMI director Donnell:
Today was a great show of team work! From the start of the race Alec and Leroy stayed in control of the group by attacking it and following any move that went up the road. At about 3 laps to go Conner and Sam start to move up to get a good position for the sprint, but Conner got caught behind a crash at 2 laps to go. Sam flew off the front with one guy on his wheel but it was not too long before Sam rode him off his wheel. Leroy sat second wheel in the pack to discourage any chasing, then on the last lap took control of the front. Seeing Sam had a big enough gap to win and that Alec was four wheels back, he gunned it to set up the lead out for Alec. They went through the last corner in that order and the rest is history!
This victory capped off a great weekend for the JMI, with a very successful fundraising dinner for the program following the race.
Sam, Leroy, and Alex sweep the 2011 PA State Cat 4 Criterium Championship at Grandview!
