The Tigers were Ivy League champions and qualified for National Championships. The Tigers barely edged Yale in the season-long points battle for first place in both the ECCC Division II and the Ivy League. The team is quickly becoming a dominant force on the East Coast, and will lose just three seniors after this year. Captains senior Pat Zahn and sophomore Tyler Wren are currently in Colorado Springs, Colo., preparing to compete for the collegiate national title on May 19-21. The winner of that race earns the honor of wearing the national champion's red white and blue jersey for the next year.
Collegiate cycling is considered a spring board to semi-pro and pro bike teams.
Many past collegiate national champions are now professional cyclists. In the spring, highlights included a game against Penn at the Palestra, and a weekend trip to Maryland that included two upset victories. Dedicated freshman newcomers Chrissy Kassis, Martha Martir, and Moira McCarthy added new strength to a solid contingent of returners, led by sophomore captains Janey Garrison and Nikki Semenetz. Former captains and juniors Somer Bingham and Kate Lavin returned to the team in the spring, raising morale and spurring victories in Maryland. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
