Green River course most demanding in Midwest Conference "Our road race was easily the most demanding course that our conference will see this season, but it's perfect preparation for nationals which will be in Wisconsin this year," Grigsby said. "Kip Spaude's win was such an inspiration to the team. He is a senior, his parents had driven down from Wisconsin to see him race, this is his home course, and he won on an attack on the final climb. "It was as if it was scripted." On Sunday, the LWC cycling team hosted the Criterium at the Adair County High School. The one kilometer (6/10 of a mile) lap consisted of mostly flat terrain with a few slight hills. The men's A Criterium consisted of 60 minutes plus an additional two laps over the course.

Hoffner crossed in 10th place. Dragoo earned her second top-5 finish of the weekend with a fourth place finish in the women's B/C Criterium.

Freshman Taylor Ladd added a sixth place finish and Dorsey crossed in ninth place. "Our four top-10 finishes in the men's A Criterium was just phenomenal," Grigsby said. "The men's B race for me was the most exciting race of the day as our team was the animators the whole race, controlling almost every move and getting a third, sixth, and ninth, something we never saw last year in the B races." Biggest stars were the gracious people in Columbia and Adair Co. "I'm incredibly proud of our student-athletes for another great weekend of racing. But perhaps the biggest stars of the weekend were the gracious people in Columbia and Adair County," Grigsby said. "This community did more than just open its arms to our program, our home race, and the visiting cyclists, it came out and welcomed our event and our visitors with open hearts and kind words of praise and encouragement. Purdy Church, Kelleyville Church and Adair County High School as well as our wonderful volunteers who manned corners on the road, and the courteous and patient people traveling through our community were simply terrific. "So much goes into planning and hosting a race like this, and time after time our community went out of their way to make it happen." This story was posted on 2010-03-09 14:52:08
