Cycling Competes in the Shippensburg Scurry

The Army West Point Cycling team travelled to Cleversburg, PA, to compete in the 2016 Shippensburg Scurry. The strong winds and unseasonably cold weather provided a challenge to all of the riders. Saturday started out with a circuit and killer hill climb, and the weekend finished up with a road race on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to the weather, officials had to truncate the road course and cut out the Horse Killer Hill. Top finishers this weekend include: cadet Jinny Yan ’16 CAT B, taking 3rd place in the circuit, and 2nd in the road race and hill climb; cadet Tristan Leo Manderfeld ’17 CAT B, taking 5th place in the circuit and 4th in the hill climb; cadet Monte He ’19 CAT C, taking 1st place in the circuit, 2nd in the road race, and 3rd in the hill climb; and cadet Andy Young ’19 CAT D, placing 5th in the circuit. With four riders upgrading going into the Shippensburg Scurry, and more expected to upgrade this next weekend, the team has seen strong improvements early in season.
