MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – The fastest collegiate athletes from around the country competed for a national title in the Badger State this weekend.
Madison and Waterloo hosted the 2025 USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Varsity and club teams from across the nation took the streets of downtown Madison on Sunday, including athletes from the Wisconsin Cycling Club.
“It’s just so cool,” Wisconsin Cycling Club Vice President Elizabeth Yray said about being the host city of such a big event.
Yray says she’s met a lot of people from all over the country and has also run into old friends.
“I’ve also seen a bunch of people I knew from high school racing here too, who go to school in Colorado and stuff. So it’s been really awesome to see everyone and give everyone a taste of what Madison’s about,” she said.
Yray says she competed in the team time trial on Friday, along with three other women and four other men.
“We had a great time out there. I had never raced in a road nationals event before, so it was just super cool to get out there and have a good time with my friends,” she added.
In addition to UW-Madison’s Cycling Club, UW-Whitewater and UW-Platteville also had athletes compete this weekend.
