The junior squad had a strong showing of 4 racers in the state road race championships. We were racing for Wes Satterwhite who was the defending champion. Wes was largely incharge of team tactics due to our tactition Chris Sheehan breaking his elbow the day before the race making him unable to attend. Wes had Jake, Eric, and I attacking to keep the pace up. Right after we finished our first of two laps Eric got “blown over” and wrecked by a mysterious gust of wind no one else felt. The rest of the race Jake and I pulled in breaks. When it came time for the sprint there was a big excelleration and I could not find a wheel so I was not there for Wes’ leadout. He ended up fourth in the state. We were happy with how well we did for our first time racing together.
