Alex Cataford Wins Gold at Junior Pan Ams

Team Canada Manager Rob good has provided the following updates from today's competition in Mar de Plata, Argentina, at the Junior Pan Am Championships.

Team Canada added to our medal count this morning with a Gold in the Individual Pursuit by Alex Cataford.  Cataford had the race in hand from the third lap, and could see his Chilean opponent. Alex won the race by a comfortable three seconds.

Bronze medals by the Team Sprint and Team Pursuit women's team of Audrey Labrie, Nina Nesdoly and Allison Beveridge brings Canada's medal count to four: 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze.

Kyle Buckosky and Aidan Caves rode a very competitive Scratch Race, with Kyle just missing a medal, finishing in a very solid fourth place, half a wheel out of a medal, while Cadet Aiden Caves finished unofficially in 7th.  In women's sprint qualifying Labrie qualified in third.  Men's Keirin participant Jesse Marams made the final, only to be shuffled out of a medal in the last half lap to finish sixth, while Daniel McKenzie-Picot made the small final and finished in 11th place.
 
Tonight the women's Scratch, Men's Team Pursuit (Canada goes for Bronze), Men's Kilo, and Women's Sprints continue.
