Higgins Pan Am National Team Debut Complete

August 9, 2009

Boulder, Colorado- Cari Higgins (PROMAN Hit Squad Professional Cycling Team) made her debut last week racing for the US National Cycling Team in Mexico City at the Velodrome de CERA. Higgins competed in and received a medal in all the individual sprint disciplines including the 500m, match sprints, and keirin, as well as the scratch race, a track endurance event. Higgins' accounted for four of the six medals by the USA team.

Higgins commented "I am really inspired after some great international competition. I am already back on the track training and ready to step it up to meet new challenges and my goals. I am looking forward to the opportunities to race abroad this winter and ultimately the World Championships. I am taking 2009 to concentrate more on my sprinting and it is nice to see it paying off. There is nothing like sprinting the fastest women in the world".

Higgins' training on the bike and in the gym will continue in Colorado leading up to the US Elite National Championships and the World Cup season starting in October. In her third year on the track, sponsors like PROMAN and Violich Farms, have given her the opportunity to compete in her track discipline.

"The teams dedication to track racing is paying off, resulting in National, World Cup and Pan American medals," stated Nicola Cranmer, team founder and manager, "It compliments our road program very well with many riders straddling both disciplines. Our focus on junior development will ensure an accelerated growth and longevity in women's track racing. Several of our girls attended the recently held inaugural USAC track camp for junior girls. Three of those girls including PROMAN rider Coryn Rivera are currently in Moscow for Junior Track and Road World Championships. With USAC Athletic Director, Jim Miller's continued support of women's cycling, the future is secure.

Up next on the track calendar is Elite Track Nationals, Sept 30 - Oct 4th, Carson, CA where both Cari Higgins and Shelley Olds will defend their five 2008 National titles. They will be joined by Coryn Rivera, Hanan Alves-Hyde, Christen King and Lorraine Jarvis.

Higgins is sponsored by PROMAN Professional Women's Cycling, Violich Farms, Tiemeyer Cycles, Speedplay, and SKINS.
