Thanks to your generous support, our crowdfunding campaigns over the last four years raised over $21,500! These funds allowed all of our qualified riders to go to road nationals in Augusta, GA (2019-22), Grand Junction, CO (2017-18), and Asheville, NC (2016), where the team had some incredible performances! Some stats from the last national championships in 2022:
11 riders (6 men, 5 women)
1st in the team omnium
3x national champions (Women's Road Race and Individual Omnium: Cara + Women's Team Time Trial)
2nd Crit (Cara)
4th Men's TTT
Additionally, we were good stewards of the excess funds raised in 2022 and used it to send 11 riders to mountain bike and 3 to CX nationals, resulting in several top-ten finishes.
Racing in a national championship is an experience that can inspire riders to be lifelong cyclists and to strive to be the best student-athlete possible. This event is our team's chance to show why we are the best cycling team in the country, and you can help get us there!
