Lindsey Wilson sweeps Chicago Cyclocross Several photos to be added to this story. Click on headline for full story + photos By David Grigsby This weekend the Blue Raiders travelled to Purdue University on Saturday, then Chicago Illinois on Sunday for the final regular season races of the collegiate cyclocross season. Saturday's race was cold and rainy with winds gusts in the 30 mph range, but it couldnt dampen the spirits of the excellent fields. The Men's B race had about 25 riders rolling strong around the challenging course. An initial breakaway of Danny Estevez and an Indiana rider turned into a battle as the two gapped the field. Clayton Omer sits 3rd wheel, Kip Spaude finishes 5th They were followed by Lindsey's Clayton Omer who sat 3rd wheel for the duration of the race and Kip Spaude who would go on to finish 5th.Danny and the I.U. rider would exchange the lead several times over the 60 minutes when Estevez crashed opening the door for an I.U. attack. Estevez could not quite close the gap and held on for 2nd place in his first collegiate cyclocross race. Ashley James starts fast . . . and accelertates Womens A held no surprises as Ashley James dropped the women from the start and seemed to accelerate for the next 30 minutes as she caught many of the Mens B field who had started 1 minute before, on their first lap. Ashley took 1st while Emily Benson got her first collegiate cross podium with 3rd. I.U. was second.Lewis Lamonte wins Men's B Mens B saw first time cross racer Lewis Almonte get into a breakaway with another rider, and attack with 1 lap to go to solo away for the victory.Strong performances from Ryan Storm and Nick Grigsby rounded out the top 15 in this large field. LWC makes clean sweep in Chicago Sunday in Chicago it was a clean sweep of the top spots in every category for Lindsey Wilson.'Ashley James takes it wire to wire Ashley James once again decimated the field leading from wire to wire and never leaving any doubt that she is the strongest female cross racer in the Midwest. Emily Benson took 2nd in the Womens A race to garnish her second podium in as many days. In Men's Collegiate A, Omer and Estevez surprise the pro's In the Mens Collegiate A race the field was mixed in with the Pro Mens race. The pros were surprised when the powerhouse duo of Clayton Omer and Danny Estevez immediately formed a breakaway with the pro mens series leader from Chicago. TThe 3 dropped the field and powered away for the entire 60 minute race. Mid way through it was Clayton Omer launching an attack that was countered and brought back by the strong Chicago pro. But the effort took its toll on the windy city rider as Clayton soon rode the chasers off his wheel and maintained a 14 second gap over the final 3 laps to take the win. Danny Estevez held on for 5th overall and 2nd in the collegiate competition. Lindsey took spots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Men's A Lindsey took spots 1,2,5,6,7 an 8th in Mens A, finishing Omer, Estevez, Kip Spaude, Matt Dooley, Peter Smith and Jake Zimmerman respectively.Lindsey dominates Freshman competition, too In the Mens B field, the dominance was still there as Freshman rider Lewis Almonte, in only his 2nd cross race dropped the collegiate field and soloed away for a commanding victory. Freshman Ryan Storm also made it look easy taking 2nd in the Mens Bs. The real nail-bitter was Freshman Nicholas Grigsby who found himself fighting off attacks from no less than 3 Missouri riders who working in his draft. After a bike change, Grigsby chased down the final collegiate B rider in front of him from Chicago University the Missouri riders began to waiver and at the finish line it was Grigsby with a winning margin of less than 5 seconds to take 3rd. The writer, David Grigsby, is the head cycling coach for Lindsey Wilson College. This story was posted on 2008-11-17 09:38:26
