Over 500 Student-Athletes Expected to Compete for 18 National Titles Men and women from Division I and Division II institutions will compete for individual championships in three categories – criterium, road race and overall – while team titles will be on the line in both the team time trial events and the overall classification. As the only collegiate sport to factor in both men’s and women’s performance to determine an overall winner, defending champions University of California – Davis and Whitman College will look to repeat their overall 2006 Division I and II crowns respectively. Competition begins Friday, May 11 with the team time trial event. On Saturday, schools will compete in the road race competition. Sunday will feature criterium racing in downtown Lawrence.
In addition to a national championship, the women’s competition in Lawrence will also serve as a qualifier for the Ryan Collegiate Women’s All Star Team – a collection of eight different student-athletes from eight different schools who will earn an invitation to the Nature Valley Grand Prix, June 20-24. Held in and around Minneapolis, Minn., the Nature Valley Grand Prix is one of the highest-ranked stage races on USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar. The final individual omnium standings at the USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships will determine the all-star squad that will compete alongside some of the nation’s top pro women. In addition to an invitation to Minnesota, the team will receive housing, a travel stipend, clothing and the direction of a team manager throughout the week.
