Husky Cycling

This past weekend the Huskies traveled to Walla Walla, Washington for the latest stop on the NWCCC spring racing season hosted by the Missionaries from Whitman College. Saturday featured a morning road race and an afternoon team time trial, while Sunday offered a spectator-friendly circuit race.

The road course was a 15 mile loop out in the lush farmland north of Walla Walla and was scoured by heavy crosswinds for all races on course. Michael Kim netted the only win on the day in the Men’s D race, but the full results show that Huskies scored top fives in almost every category.

The afternoon team time trial was an out-and-back, 10 mile course that ran on a section of the morning’s road race course. The Dawgs scored victories in the Men’s A and B fields.

Sunday’s schedule deterred from the usual criterium and was replaced by a 3 mile circuit that featured a daunting 300 meter, 15% grade climb with the finish line at the top. Dawgs took wins with Devon Simpson in the Women B’s and Paul Young in the Men B’s.

Next week, the Dawg Pack travels to Bozeman and Missoula, Montana for the next omnium hosted by the University of Montana and Montana State University cycling clubs April 17-18.

This past weekend, the Husky Cycling team traveled to Salem and Portland, Oregon for the latest round of the NW Collegiate Cycling Tour. The weekend’s format was switched up a bit, with the criterium on saturday morning, team time trial on saturday afternoon and the road race on sunday.

Willamette University hosted the criterium that looped around the capitol building in Salem. Marc Schwartz notched the only Husky win on the day with a daring solo move with four laps to go in the Men’s A race.

The afternoon time trial was held outside of Salem on scenic farm roads and held a deceiving climb for the riders halfway through the course. Washington took wins in the Men’s A and B and Women’s C fields. Both Saturday races were plagued with extreme weather conditions.

Sunday’s road race was hosted by Portland State University on a scenic circuit on the roads around Hagg Lake outside of Forest Grove, Oregon. Grant Boursaw won the Men’s A race and Jesse Opp won the Women’s B race.

After the fourth weekend of racing, the Huskies have taken control over the overall points standings by a margin of 370 points over Whitman College.

Next week, the Dawg Pack travels to Walla Walla, Washington for the Whitman College Omnium, April 10-11. Don’t forget you can follow the Dawgs every turn on Twitter, at www.twitter.com/HuskyCycling or clicking the twitter link on this left side of this page. Stay tuned!

This past weekend, the Huskies traveled up to Bellingham for a road race and time trial hosted by the Western Washington University Vikings, and then returned home to Seward Park to host their own criterium.

The weekend highlights began with road race wins: Grant Boursaw in the Men’s A, Evan Schmitt in the Men’s B, Ryan Larson in the Men’s C and Lisa Toner in the Women’s B.

Saturday afternoon’s team time trial was run on a 10 mile, out and back course on Mosquito Lake road. The Dawgs took victories in the Men’s A and B fields over their newfound rivals from Whitman College.

The Husky Criterium on Sunday was greeted with rain early in the morning, but ceased before racing started at 8 am. Amplified music and play-by-play announcing kept the spectators fired up along with the racers as they rocketed around the 1 kilometer course in Seward Park, along the shores of Lake Washington.

Devon Simpson cranked out the only Husky victory on the day in the Women’s B field, but second place finishes by Grant Boursaw in the Men’s A and Anthony Azevedo in the Men’s B fields kept the points totals high in the overall team omnium.

Next, the Dawg Pack travels to Salem and Portland on April 3-4 for the next omnium in the Northwest Collegiate Cycling Conference. Don’t forget you can follow the Dawgs every turn on Twitter, at www.twitter.com/HuskyCycling or clicking the twitter link on this left side of this page. Stay tuned!

This past weekend, the Husky Cycling Team traveled to Oregon for the Oregon/Oregon State omnium. Saturday presented the road race in the morning and a team time trial in the afternoon hosted by the University of Oregon Ducks. Rad Cunningham pulled off a solo breakaway to win the Men’s A race. Lisa Toner and Jesse Opp created a separation from the field to go 1-2 in the Women’s B field. Anthony Azevedo survived the winning break on the day to finish 2nd in the Men’s B race. Ryan Larson rounded out the strong day for the dawgs by winning the Men’s C field.

The Huskies brought the heat to the afternoon team time trials, taking dominant victories in the Men’s A, B and Women’s B fields.

Sunday’s criterium course circumnavigated Reser Stadium on the Oregon State University campus and was plagued by constantly changing weather conditions. Grant Boursaw completed the Men’s A sweep in style with a big sprint in the finale. Anthony Azevedo notched UW’s second victory on the day with his mad dash to the line in the Men’s B field.

The Dawgs travel to Bellingham next saturday for the road race and team time trial, and then return to home turf for their criterium at Seward Park.

The Huskies got off to a fast start this past weekend in Boise, Idaho as the Boise State University Broncos hosted their first ever collegiate race. The first day of racing was cancelled due to snowfall, so that left the remaining criterium on sunday to be contested amongst the collegians.

The Dawgs scored their first collegiate victories of the year in the Women B and C fields. Rookie Kamila Gwiazda took honors in the Women C field and Lisa Toner and Jesse Opp went 1-2 in the Women B field.

On the men’s side, sprinter-ace Grant Boursaw scored a 2nd place finish in a hotly contested sprint between a WSU and Whitman rider. A strong showing for the dawgs, this report will be added as full results are collected.

The Huskies travel to Oregon for the Oregon/Oregon State omnium next weekend.
