Race Team

Many thanks for everyone’s hard work this year!

Race Team Wrap Up 2009

Sean Walker

It has been a long year, but the boyz have gotten some experience.

I've spent the morning looking at their results for the year and

realized everyone has ridden well over thirty races this year that

have been active. Though I know that it has been a frustrating year

for all of them, the all have earned their place in Iowa's category

I/II peleton. Bryan Moritz has had 10 second place finishes in his

first year as a category two cyclist as well as two collegiate wins.

Will Greenwood has won a race at State Center in June and contributed

to many team finishes... Andrew Fagersten had an extremely frustrating

year due to an injury after mountain bike accident which was further

aggrevated by his determination to finish the Joe Martin stage race.

He is a horse and has come back to form in the last month finishing

third in our team Criterium and the Iowa Games road race both the same

weekend. Finn Kohlsrud capitalized on his ability to finish fast by

finishing third at the Clear Lake road race this year. Last but

certainly not least of the riders is Tim Campbell who has not only

logged the most races (including his man collegiate events) this year

is our tough guy for the year. He is always willing to attack and

once he's reeled in he's ready to attack again. One of these days he's

going to stick the long solo break and nobody will be able to stop

him. He almost did it at Clear Lake Road Race. Keep your eyes open

our for these guys next year. They will be the new guard of Iowa

Cycling... the forty plus age group riders days are numbered. I for

one am grateful to have been able to work with these guys and be their

friend. My hope for Iowa Cycling's future is bright and will be

driving back to the state frequently next year to watch them continue

to grow as riders and men. Thanks guys... you are no longer boyz!

P.S. Craig and I are looking forward to adding more young riders to

the team next year!
