1st in the ACCC!

To update you on last weekend's impressive results in Charlottesville, VA, the Appalachian State Cycling Team officially moved into 1st place in the ACCC! Pfeiffer University dropped into second place while John Hopkins continues to hold on to the third place. These next few weeks will be crucial as the Mountaineers set out to capture an unprecedented 3rd straight ACCC Road Championship as well as the triple crown with Mountain, Cyclocross, and Road Championships all in the same season!

This past weekend witnessed another impressive Appalachian showing in Blacksburg, VA, as Yosef's finest captured numerous top 10 finishes as well as a sweep of 1st place finishes in the men's D races with Chris Jones continuing to unleash the fury as he took home the win in both the road race and the uphill time trial. Michael Wilson led the men's A team with a 6th place finish in the road race and a 4th place finish in the time trial. The women also placed well this weekend with Amanda Gilbert and Allison Forkner continuing to pick up those vital points in the women's races.

Appalachian will look to distance itself yet again from the rest of the ACCC as they travel to West Virginia this upcoming weekend. Look for updates from those races and more this upcoming weekend as Appalachian prepares to defend its conference title at Wake Forest in just under two weeks! The finish line is almost there on the 2008 campaign and we'll keep you posted on every step of the way as the Mountaineers look to solidify their hold of 1st place in the ACCC!
