Boom!!! In what may have been the team's most successful weekend to date, Michael managed to win his 3rd National Championships on Saturday, Jenn netted an incredibly strong 2nd behind Maghalie Rochette. To top it off, both Michael and Jenn backed those results up with a pair of wins on Sunday's UCI C2.  

This year's Peterborough Nationals course was very European in feel. With lots of big long power sections split up by fairly technical features. The conditions went from dry on Friday, to somewhat wet for the Men's Championship race to an outright downpour during the Women's event before eventually settling into a dry and fast course on Sunday.

The team is all back together this upcoming weekend in Midland, ON for the Pan Am Championships - we'll see you there!

THE ATHLETE'S TAKE

“It felt good to rally for Nationals this weekend and fight for the title. Even though it's another silver, this one feels like a way more polished performance and a huge part of that is entirely thanks to the team and supporters backing me up this year."

  -  Jenn Jackson

"I mean, it's pretty hard to be anything but ecstatic about the race! I certainly made it a little harder on myself by falling over early in the race, but I guess I can't complain about how it ended up. Like I was saying before the race, Marc-Andre was fit and motivated and that I wasn't going to be able to take the maple leaf home again without a fight and he certainly proved that this weekend. These things aren't getting any easier to win, but I sure don't plan on giving it up anytime soon."

-  Michael van den Ham

"I don't think I could have asked for a much better weekend. Michael added a little more stress than needed on Saturday with his fall but in the end, we ended up with 3 UCI wins and one national championship which is pretty hard to beat."

-  Dylan Postier
