In the final event of the championship, Graeme Frislie<\/strong> (Paradise, Au.;\u202fCCACHE x Bodywrap)\u00a0and Peter Moore<\/strong> (Saint Paul, Minn.)\u00a0teamed up for the grueling 199-lap Men\u2019s Madison. Early in the race, Team USA rode consistently within the main group as several teams went on the attack to gain early laps. Staying composed, Frislie and Moore paced their efforts strategically, upping the tempo around the midway point to successfully take a lap with 77 to go, earning a crucial +20 points and moving onto the scoreboard. In the closing laps, they continued to collect points in the final sprints (18, 19, and 20), securing a top-10 finish and capping off the championships with a performance to be proud of.<\/p>\n

In his final event of the week, Grant Koontz<\/strong> (Nederland, Colo.; Star Track Cycling) lined up for the Elimination Race, facing a stacked field of 24 riders. From the gun, he took control, spending several laps at the front and skillfully managing his position within the group. Midway through the race, the pace surged, and Koontz<\/strong> found himself in a tough spot as riders fanned out over the top heading into the sprint. In a photo finish, he was narrowly edged out at the line and eliminated, finishing 16th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Keirin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla Hankins<\/strong> (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and McKenna McKee (<\/strong>Vancouver, Wash.) lined up for the Keirin this morning. Once the derny pulled off and the pace picked up, it was an all-out sprint among seven riders, with the top two advancing directly to the quarterfinals and the rest moving to the repechage for another shot at qualification.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hankins<\/strong> stayed composed in the group and launched her sprint, taking third in her opening round. In the repechage, she started from the back and made a strong move over the top in the closing laps but couldn\u2019t quite close the gap, finishing sixth and missing advancement.<\/p>\n

McKee<\/strong> also placed third in her first round after a tight battle to the line. In her repechage, she rode strategically and delivered a powerful sprint. It came down to a three-way photo finish, with McKee narrowly missing a qualifying spot by just inches.<\/p>\n
