Elite Track Nationals - Team Pursuit

The Women's Team Pursuit was held on Thursday, October 2, 2008, Day 2 of the USA Cycling Elite National Track Championships at the ADT Event Center in Carson, CA. The women's team pursuit is a 3 km time trial and the time is taken on the third rider across the line (unlike the men's team pursuits where they start with four riders but only have to finish with three). Four SBW riders stood on the podium after the event.

Christen teamed with Proman's Shelley Olds and Megan Guarnier and took the silver medal with a time of 3:45.370.

Morgan, JennX, and Kelli teamed up to form an all-SBW pursuit team and took the bronze with a time of 3:51.976. We were so excited about the time we set. In a month's time, we dropped 10 seconds. We had done a 4:01 in late August, and a 3:56 about five days before we hit the track at Nationals. We were 6 seconds off the silver and 8 seconds off the gold. Next year we could be right up there!
