Welcome to the team, Jake!

The Lions secured the #1 ranking by winning the team omnium at road nationals.

With consistent performances at both track and mountain bike nationals last fall, the team claimed a tenuous #1 ranking last December with a 2nd place at cyclocross nationals. After winning road nationals in May, the team secured it’s #1 national ranking for the year. Five teams in the SECCC ended up in the top 15, demonstrating the quality of collegiate racing in the southeast.

The team looks forward to defending the #1 position starting at track nationals September 15-17 in Indianapolis. Read the full article from USA Cycling HERE.
