Coed Varsity Cycling

MICDS Cycling had another strong season, highlighted by strong performances and new events. The team competed in Carondelet Park at the Tuesday Night Worlds. A more casual approach to racing, Tuesday Night Worlds offered an opportunity for newer competitors to get the feel for racing while still challenging the fitness of those more veteran. New to the team’s race calendar, the Route 66 Shakedown series provided an opportunity to race fast. Ash Falk ’26 rounded out the top 10 of the men’s 4-5 race. Newcomers Sawyer Huffman ’29 and Will Kreikemeier ’29 took the top two podium spots in the junior division. In a first, the Cycling team competed with members of the MICDS Cross Country and Track & Field teams in the Eads Bridge Duathlon. Luke McGinnis ’26 and Nolan Jones ’26 teamed up with Falk to take second place in the men’s division of the team relay. Huffman, competing in his first multi-sport event, took second place in the 19u division. The season wrapped up with several of the older riders competing in the Vino Fondo held in Defiance, Missouri. The team battled the rain and the hills of Defiance for 41 miles of fun, all while benefiting Pedal the Cause. Under the leadership of Dalton Costick ’26, the team will continue raising funds for the fight against cancer this fall by riding in Pedal to the Medal at Pedal the Cause in September.
