"An athlete in motion should stay in motion"

Team Synergy had a strong presence at the track in both the Category 1/2 men's field as well as the women's field on this hot and muggy August night. 

 WOMEN

Tempo 12: In this short points race, 2 points are awarded to the first rider across the finish every lap.  And one point is awarded to 2nd place every lap.  The format makes for a fast race with little time to rest.  LINSEY HAMILTON won a smart race, taking a handful of laps early on.  The real battle was for 2nd place where SANDY GRESS sprinted frequently against Bianca Bergman.  GRESS completed the race only one point back from Bergman.

Miss & Out: The Miss & Out is quickly becoming the new favorite of SANDY GRESS.  GRESS rode a tactical race and was able to out-sprint Bianca Bergman for the win.  HAMILTON  took 4th place. 

Points 30: In the Points race, HAMILTON dominated each of the three sprints.  Again, GRESS battled it out with Bergman for 2nd and 3rd in each sprint.  At the finish HAMILTON totalled 15 points, Bergman 9, and GRESS 6. 

Omnium: HAMILTON 1st, Bergman 2nd, GRESS 3rd

HAMILTON also finished 9th of 18 in the Category 3 men's Scratch 10.

CATEGORY  1/2 MEN

This is the first Thursday of the season that TIM MULROONEY raced the hardwood of the track.  TIMMER, well known for his time trialing prowess, first raced a three kilometer individual pursuit against Grandstay's Daniel Casper.  The race was close from the gun with TIMMER maintaining a lead of no more than .75 seconds throughout the entire race for the win.  

The Category 1/2's wrapped up the evening with an 80 lap points race.  With Brain Crosby, Adam Bergman, and Pat Lemieux in the field, the race was hot from the very first lap.  But, TIMMER, using his time trialing skills to his advantage, was able to roll off the front and lap the field.  By doing so, he was awarded 20 points, enough to secure the win!!
