Victoria and Western Australia were the star players on the opening day of the 2004 Australian Junior Track Cycling Championships in Tasmania. Victoria scored a return of eight medals, including four golds, whilst the WA team picked up five medal, including three cherished gold.
WA also won its first ever Men's Under 17 Team Pursuit over 3000 m. The Meyer brothers, Cameron and Travis combined with Duane Johansen and Byron Page to defeat the reigning champions, Victoria in the final. WA's best rider, Scott Sunderland was omitted from the gold medal ride after earlier playing a solid role in qualifying.The WA unit was clocked at 3.31.05 in the final against the Victorians, who registered 3.34.49.
Sunderland enjoyed success in the new 1 Lap Time Trial Championship, which has replaced the old Flying 200 m. Sunderland stopped the clock at 21.22 seconds for the 285 m journey around the Launceston Silverdome track. WA's other gold medal performance came in the Women's Under 17 Individual Pursuit, when Josephine Tomic defeated Victorian Peta Mullens.

Victoria's four gold medals came from Sarah Humphreys (Women's Under 17 1-Lap Time Trial), Georgina Freeland (Women's Under 15 1-Lap Time Trial and 5 km Scratch) and Michael Downing (Men's Under 15 5 km Scratch). Unfortunately for Freeland, she also suffered an injury and is now likely to miss the remainder of the championships.
New South Wales also enjoyed gold medal success on Day 1, with Luke Davison claiming victory in the Men's Under 15 1-Lap Time Trial.
The Championships continue through till Monday.
