Colorado Springs, Colo. (Aug. 13, 2006) – Four more national records fell on the final day of the USA Cycling Master Track National Championships at the 7-Eleven Velodrome in Colorado Springs, Colo. Sunday concluded the five-day event with 66 national titles awarded to USA Cycling members age 30 and up.

All new national records were decided in the afternoon’s team time-trial events. The Byrne Specialty Gasses 3000-meter time trial team of Annette Hanson (Kenmore, Wash./First Rate Mortgage), Tracey Huber (Louisville, Ky./Kentucky Flyers), Kele Murdin (Kenmore, Wash./Velo Bella-Kona) and Debbie Preller (Kirkland, Wash./Byrne Specialty Gasses) set a national record in the women’s 30+ category with its time of 3 minutes and 51.772 seconds.

The afternoon was brought to a screeching halt by rains that interrupted the men’s 30+ madison event three times, delaying it for more than two hours. After the third stoppage, the race was called with 57 of the original120 laps left due to weather. The Texas Roadhouse team of Tolson and Williams, who led throughout the completed 63 laps and had gained a lap on the field, was awarded the national title.

The day concluded with the elite tandem sprint contest. The Excel tandem team of Dave Lindsey (Colorado Springs, Colo./Excel Sports) and Matt Benassi (Colorado Springs, Colo./Excel Sports) edged out the Indy Delta team of Matt Stolle (Indianapolis, Ind./Indiana Hand Center) and Virgil Whitmyer (Indianapolis, Ind./Indiana Hand Center) in the gold-medal final.
