Congratulations to Laura Whittle

Laura Whittle of Belleville, Ill., who rides for the Midwestern State University cycling team, had a nice run at the National Collegiate Cycling Association Championships last weekend. She finished 32nd in the omninum standings for Division I women on the strength of an 11th place finish in the 60-minute criterium on Friday night. Laura finished one second behind criterium champ Amber Rais of Stanford.

According to her father, Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society ride leader Jerry Whittle, Laura has been playing a supporting role the past two years to MSU's best female racer, Jennifer Purcell. Next year, Laura likely will be the top female cyclist on the team, so we can expect more good things from her.

Thanks Roger, nationals were fun and definitely went well for me. But there is room for improvement for my team and myself.

I think my dad is a little ahead of himself. Next year our women's team will be extremely tough. I will not be the stongest on the team, we will all be strong! I will be the worker, because that is what I do best.

See you next Wednesday!
