The Olympic Oval National Cycling Centre was proud to host the 1st Annual Alberta Youth Track Championships at the Glenmore Velodrome, Calgary on August 30, 2007. The one day championships had riders participating in 6 different events – points race, 200m time trial, devil’s race, 500m/kilo, sprints, and scratch. 27 riders from ages 12 to 18, both girls and boys, participating in all events, giving many riders their first opportunity to race in some events, such as the match sprints. 2 riders even travelled up from the United States to participate in the Youth Championship (Jesse Marans – Momentum Cycling, Los Angeles, CA and Eric Rasche – Northwest Cycling Club, Houston, TX).
