2008 Road Racing!

NWCCC Schedule (click on events)

PSU had a great first collegiate race weekend to kick off the 2008 season. The team rode away with wins in the women's A criterium (Anita Dilles) and Women's B crit (Jennifer Withers). Jesse Homan took 2nd in the C-men crit and Anita took 2nd in the road race as well, which was good enough to put her in the conference leaders jersey for this coming weekend in Bellingham/Seattle.

PSU is currently sitting in 4th place in the Team Omnium with very tight competition from several other teams. Check the NWCCC Website (click on results) for the most recent standings in what is looking to be an exciting season!
