THE ATHLETE'S TAKE
“It was a really well-balanced course; the technical elements, finesse sections, and big working drags all made for a fun and exciting racing both days. Stoked to cap off the domestic season with a podium."
- Jenn Jackson
"I don't know if going from the gun was necessarily the easiest strategy, but I guess it worked out okay for me in the end. I've been struggling to really hit my starts for the second half of the season, so it felt really good to take the hole-shot both days and build a little more confidence before heading to Europe next week."
- Michael van den Ham
"I skipped out on racing Saturday with a cold but decided on Sunday that I had to race my favorite UCI race even if I wasn't feeling 100%. I went full send on the first few laps and was sitting 10-12th, but cracked hard on the last lap and ended up 15th"
- Bridget Tooley
"My favorite part of the weekend was the fans. It's really special to have two weekends of racing so close to home. Racing at the front of the race and being so close to another top-5 was all I could have asked for."
- Dylan Postier
