Almost double last years entry, and more than half of the total field. u15, u17, u19, boys and girls categories.

Almost got a boys u13 field too: need 5 for medals and have four. Anyone know a kid with track experience under 13?

Many thanks to coaches Kurt Innes, Houshang Amiri, Steve Lund, Andrew Greydonis, Charles Durrant, and any others. Takes a lot of work to get juniors to the line and you did it.

Come check out the racing. Some fast folks from out of town are here.

That was fun! 30 hours at the velodrome with an amazing group of people, and some very exciting races.

Well done all you TS juniors. Very sad for Chris and Duncan to have your weekend ended by a crash. Here is to a speedy recovery to you both.

I hope Lister has a race report up his sleeve, although it may be hard to capture the huge number of events and epic efforts in a report that will fit on the TS server.

Great weekend though.
