This weekend marked the kick off of the Verge Mid-Atlantic Championship Cyclocross Series with races at the Granogue Estate in Delaware and a horse farm in Coshocken, PA.
Rutgers rolled deep on Saturday at Granogue with Ted, Jay, and Don in the Cs and Mark and Charlie in the Bs.
In C action, Don fought back from a terrible 6th row start position to finish 8th in a field of 70+. Jay finished not too far behind in 15th, and Ted rounded out the Rutgers crew in 54th.
In the Bs, 90 guys lined up for the toughest course on the Mid-Atlantic calendar. Charlie and Mark both had inspired rides on this grueling and technical course. Mark finished 23rd and Charlie right behind in 25th.
On Sunday, while the rest of the 'cross crew were taking a break, Jay went out to race the Wissahickon 'cross race in PA. Inspired by his solid result on Saturday in the Cs, Jay started with the Bs and had a great race to finish 49th.
Next weekend, the Rutgers crew is doubling up with a NJ Cup race at the Craigmeur Ski Resort in Rockaway, NJ on Saturday and the Collegiate CX series opener on Sunday in Bridgeton, NJ. Look for solid rides both days as the RU crew only seems to get stronger!
