The Kenrick Tucker Velodrome was alight on day one of the Queensland State Track Cycling Championships when Olympic Champion and World Record Holder for the 500m Time Trial, Anna Meares took to the track to race her trademark event.
Meares won the time trial in a time of 36.28, well ahead of her local Rockhampton counterparts, Deborah Lovely, Athens Weightlifing representative (39.71) and Alexandra Bright (39.76) in a night when the wind played havoc with the riders. However Meares rode through the wind with strength and composure and registered a solid time to take the gold medal in style.
Balmoral cyclist Hayley Wright, 2004 World Junior Track Cycling team member and 2004 winner of the Australian U19 womens 500m Time Trial took gold in a time of 38.51 ahead of fellow club member Lizzie Clements (39.98) and Mackay's Chloe Macpherson (40.10).
