State Track Championships

This Halloween, while many kids were partying with friends or out in the neighborhoods trick or treating, the Florida State Track Championships were being held at Brian Piccolo Velodrome in Miami, FL. Team Colavita was represented by Michelle Blake, who had come down that afternoon, all the way from Orlando to participate that evening. Some other familiar Florida road racing faces were there as well, including Kevin McGuire and Amir Merali.

The first of the three races was the 500m TT, followed by the 4 km Scratch race and 36 lap Points race. Michelle made a time of 44.86 seconds in the time trial, came in 7th overall in the scratch race and was the first across the finish line in the points race, putting her in first in her category. Michelle won the womens 13-14 omnium with 15 points and is now the 2009 Florida State Track Champion, Congratulations.
