Emma White CX National Champion…Again!
From Cyclocross Magazine:
A dominant performance by now two-time National Champion Emma White (nycross.com) left most of the 17-18 field in the dust even on the first lap. With a race strategy centered around her ability to start well, White snagged the holeshot early on and continued to build her lead, weaving around the 17-18 women. However, the race wasn’t strictly about White, and not far behind her, Tiziana DeHorney (Get Out! New Mexico) was also slicing between racers in the field that started ahead of them. About a minute back from White, DeHorney managed to maintain her position throughout the race. In the three lap race, the positions of the top five were determined early and stayed the same throughout the race, with White and DeHorney leading. They were followed by Laurel Rathbun (JET Cycling), Andrea Casebolt (Revel Consulting/Rad Racing NW) and Victoria Gates (JAM Fund).
White sped into the finish smiling, her victory all but assured from the first minutes of the race. Stay tuned for an interview with, as one announcer declared, “the girl who could be the next Katie Compton.”
From all your teammates at NYCROSS: Congratulations Emma!
T-Shirt Emergency!
UPDATE, 11-8-2011:
Well, we have a winner! The team has spoken and the strange and esoteric “TrashGoat” design by James Dutko won by a sizeable margin. I don’t want to think too hard about what that says about our racers’ mental stability. Moving on: we are happy to announce that ALL who submitted a design will receive a consolation prize. Plan to attend the Bethlehem Cup race this weekend and we will bestow it upon you with great fanfare.
Thanks to all who submitted. It really was a tough call.
We are chagrined to report that, when checking up recently on the graphic design department at NYCROSS.com world headquarters to inquire as to the status of our 2011 T-Shirt design, we found them naked in a pool of their own excrement, huffing tire glue and listening to a scratched and skipping AC/DC LP (backwards), endlessly checking Adam Myerson’s Twitter feed. Now that we’ve fired the entire design department, we are appealing to you, interwebs, to design our shirt for us before the final race of the series in Bethlehem, NY on Nov. 13. Here’s the straight dope: Download the template and either design it, following the instructions on the form, in your favorite design program on your ‘pooter, or print the thing and have at it with magic markers or paint or, ideally, just white-out and blood (team colors). Either upload your design by sending it as an e-mail attachment to Dr. G, or via snailmail to: D. Goodwin 1400 Washington Ave. Fine Arts 216 Albany, NY 12222 The winning design will be decided by a jury of distinguished critics (Team NYCROSS) and the winning designer will receive a $50 gift certificate to High Adventure Sports, plus a T-shirt in his or her size, of course. Deadline: Midnight, November 4, 2011 Download design template
