USA CYCLING SCHEDULES FIRST SPRING JUNIOR TRACK SUPERCAMP



COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (Mar. 14, 2000) -- USA Cycling announced Tuesday

that an agreement has been reached with The Superdrome in Frisco, Texas to

produce the inaugural junior track cycling Supercamp in May. The camp is

part of the USAC regional camps development program that includes the Marty

Nothstein Junior Olympic Track race series and the Lance Armstrong Junior

Olympic race series (road cycling). Athletes must qualify for this camp

through either the Marty Nothstein or Lance Armstrong races. The Supercamp

will take place May 10-14.



"This will be the first National Development Camp specifically for track

athletes as well as road athletes who feel they may be able to compete on

the track" said David Mayer-Oakes, USA Cycling Athlete Development Manager.

"We are excited about this program. Our national team coaches, Des Dickie

(sprint), Danny Van Haute (junior) and Craig Griffin (endurance) will

provide knowledge and expertise at the spring camp. With their help this

camp will be the chance for up-and-coming junior cyclists to really showcase

their talents."



Qualified athletes should contact Mayer-Oakes (719/578-4845) for

information. The Supercamp will include identification events, classroom,

racing and physiological testing.



The Superdrome in Frisco has hosted numerous major cycling events in recent

years, including the 1999 EDS World Cup of Cycling, 1999 USCF Masters

National Track Cycling Championships, 1998 EDS Elite National Track Cycling

Championships and several EDS Track Cups. The Superdrome will also be home

to the 2000 U.S. Olympic Track Cycling Trials (Apr. 25-29).
