Men's Individual Pursuit

Two-time Olympic medallist Erin Hartwell (Indianapolis, Ind.) posted the second-fastest qualifying time in the men's 4,000-meter individual pursuit Wednesday in the second day of action at the U.S. Olympic Team trials for Track Cycling at The Superdrome in Frisco, Texas

Hartwell, who captured a silver medal at the 1992 Olympic Games and bronze four years later in the kilometer time trial, recorded a time of 4:38.736. He missed most of the 1999 campaign due to knee injuries and made the move to endurance track from sprint cycling in late 1999. Mike Tillman (Santa Monica, Calif.) registered the fastest qualifying time (4:38.234) and will face Hartwell in Wednesday night's finals.

1996 Olympian Kent Bostick (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) will vie for third place in the individual pursuit against Adham Sbeih (Granite Bay, Calif.), who will be riding his fourth career individual pursuit.
