Riding to the Top

Another weekend and another successful run for the Union cycling team. This time it was up at the University of Michigan.

Rachel Millsop is making an impact with a pair of wins Sunday. She has five wins so far this year and could contend for the MWCCC Rider of the Year honor. She would be the third Union rider to ever win the award and it would be back-to-back years a Bulldog wins it.

Zach Winn is the defending MWCCC Rider of the Year and is not doing bad himself. He picked up a time trial win Sunday to lead a pack of Bulldogs in the event. What does that say about the Union team when the Bulldogs have four of the Top-5 finishers?

Grant it, the cycling travels north for most of the races, but if you get a chance, the NCCA National Championship is in Banner Elk, N.C. from Oct. 24-26. It should be an exciting event all weekend. Could Union capture the national championship to go with the 2002 title? Only time will tell, but first thing is first, reclaim the MWCCC Championship. That will be determined Oct. 11-12 at Purdue (Ind.) University.
