Australian National Track Cycling Championships

Congratulations to Cruz K and Elise V who competed at the Australian National Championships held in Brisbane over 5 days for Track Cycling. 

Cruz placed Top 10 for 5 events, with 7th being his top place in the Sprints reaching a speed of over 56km/hr. He raced personal bests times and certainly improved significantly from states. He was commended on his attitude and was awarded Queensland Spirit Award after Day 3 of competition. 

Elise competed in all 6 events. Placing 8th overall in 5 events and 6th in another. PBs in all events and a commendation from the State team selectors including the coaches. Elise is a first year competitor in the under 15 age group and competed against girls older than her.

Well done Cruz and Elise! 

This is Nicota's first PB in all Race Events considering his age.

Well done and congratulations to both.
