Lehigh Valley Corporate Challenge

Lehigh Valley, PA, July 23, 2004

Air Products Takes Corporate Challenge Victory

By Jacob Burns

The Corporate Challenge was the featured event for July 23, 2004. Returning champions Air Products A claimed victory once again, and winners in the other events for the rain shortened evening included Jame Carney (Northwestern Mortgage), Sarah Uhl (Quark), and Rebecca McClintock (Colavita Bolla).

The Women's One Mile Final started off slow, and looked to be a sure win for Becky Conzelman (Frisco Cycling Club), who led most of the race. However, Sarah Uhl, riding for the Quark Cycling Team, was on her wheel on the last lap, and stole the win from underneath Conzelman's nose. Conzelman finished second, with Graciela Martinez (Coach Argentina) in third.

The Men's One Mile Final was a close race, but Jame Carney (Northwestern Mortgage) held his position to take his win. On Carney's wheel was Gill Hatton (Gotham Cyclists) who settled for second place, and Andy Lakatosh (Tri-State Velo), who rode hard, but finished third. In the process of winning Carney also set the new one mile record mark for the facility.

The Corporate Challenge Men's 5 Lap Final ended with a challenge between Ray Ignosh and Andy Kuklis. At the last minute, Ignosh pulled ahead of Kuklis, who fought hard until the end, and finished second.

In the Corporate Challenge Women's 3 Lap Final, Amie Yenser was able to keep a lead throughout the race, and fend off the pack to win. In second place was Christine Bucher, and finishing third, Sheila Geisenheimer.

The Men's Miss-and-Out was an exciting race for all participating riders this evening. Jame Carney (Northwestern Mortgage) pulled way ahead of Bobby Lea (T.E.A.M. Fuji) and Kyle Wamsley (T.E.A.M. Fuji) on the last lap, leaving the two members of T.E.A.M. Fuji in the dust. Lea took second place, while Wamsley's third was the end result.

Sarah Uhl (Quark) pulled ahead of riders at the last minute to take primes throughout the entire Women's 20 Lap Final. However, Rebecca McClintock (Colavita Bolla) managed to steal Uhl's thunder to win the race. Uhl finished second, with Becky Conzelman (Frisco Cyclin Club) close behind in third place.

The Corporate Challenge Team Final was the last event for the corporate teams this evening. All teams had a great time competing, but Air Products A team managed to capture the night's win. Coming in a close second was LCCC's team. Rodale finished third place for the night.
