One of the more interesting sports, because of the wide variety of competitions, is track cycling. Over the next seven days in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania that sport will be on display with the USA Nationals. Monday’s first day of competition will feature the start of the men’s and women’s sprint competitions with the qualifiers through the quarterfinals. Also beginning will be the men’s and women’s omnium events, with the scratch race and the individual pursuit events taking place.
Last year’s women’s runner-up in the omnium Tela Crane is competing this year while on the men’s side 2016 Olympian and defending national champion Bobby Lea leads the way. Last year’s bronze medalist, Jeremy Shirock, is also back for another ride at it. The top two from last year in the women’s sprint, Madalyn Godby and Mandy Marquardt, are back to compete for the title again while the men’s bronze medalist from last year, David Espinoza is competing again.
