The Pennsylvania team got off to a great start at the inaugural Regional Cup race by accruing 46 points in the Amateur Women's race with a good performance by winner Birgit Kovacs. Pennsylvania never looked back, scoring points in each of the six race categories.
|
The only other team, besides Pennsylvania, who scored points in all 6 race categories, was tiny Delaware. Delaware, led by current Espoir National Champion Katie Compton, is geographically small, but packs a big punch with two of the top three teams over the last three years (First State Velo Sport and reigning MAC Cup holder Wooden Wheels). Delaware finished fourth.
Second place went to Massachusetts, a perennial powerhouse. Debate continues as to whether Pennsylvania won only because it was geographically closer to the race than Massachusetts. It won't get any easier for Massachusetts next year, as the winner (Pennsylvania) hosts the event in 2002. Said Mark Abramshamson, Massachusetts State Cyclo-cross Coordinator, "I guess next year, I will have to skip my town's annual Pilgrim Costume Festival held every Thanksgiving holiday, and devote full attention to showing everyone why Massachusetts Cross is boss".
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the third place finish of home state New Jersey. Probably not up high on the bookmakers list of teams slated to win, place, or show, New Jersey didn't let that hinder their spirits. Led by New Jersey's cyclo-cross cultural icon, Joe Saling, they captured the most Masters points and did really well in the Elite Men's race.
