Mandy Marquardt continued a stellar week at the USA Cycling Track Nationals as she added two more national titles on Wednesday to the two she won on Tuesday. Marquardt opened the day winning the 500m time trial over Anissa Cobb and Mckenzie Browne. Marquardt had won silver in the event last year with Cobb fifth and Browne 11th. Marquardt’s second title of the day came in the team sprint event where she teamed with Colleen Gulick to beat Browne and Cobb by over a second and a half. Dana Feiss and Kimberly Ann Zubris finished third. Marquardt won the title last year when teamed with Madalyn Godby while Cobb and Feiss were second and while Zubris finished fourth.
The women’s elite team pursuit event wasn’t much of an event as only one team entered, Erin Goodall, Catherine Moore, Clarice Sayle, and Amanda Seigle. Goodall and Moore had won bronze last year while Seigle was part of the gold medal winning team. In the men’s event Zachary Carlson, Jordan Marhanka, Kyle Perry, and Ryan Shean won gold by over two seconds over Ian Holt, Alexandre Darville, Lucas Clarke, and Charles Cassin. Kenyon Ralph, Ryon Graf, Eric Geier, and Roger Ainslie won the bronze.
The men’s team sprint was won by Jamie Alvord, James Mellen, and David Espinoza in 1:02.796, almost two seconds ahead of Dominic Suozzi, Joe Christiansen, and Joshua Hartman. Kyle Kato, Edward Horvet, and Brian Abers finished third. Espinoza and Mellen had won gold last year as well while Christiansen was part of the sixth place team and Abers was part of the seventh place team. Kato and Horvet won bronze for the second straight year. Suozzi won the men’s time trial with Karl Baumgart in second and Horvet in third. Horvet finished eighth last year in the event.
