School Sports

Here's a little snap shot into the juniors of EXPO Racing. Days ago I mentioned that our EXPO numbers might be a tad low due to the "school sports" phenomenon.

Although, I strongly discourage a life outside of biking, these four kats have tried to make to make a name for themselves via the "other" sports. Ok, fine. I play soccer too. If anything - this lends to their "athlete" status and might actually make them better cyclists and peoples.




Bike Life - WORS Comp U16 Series Champion and a Member of the 24hr EXPO Junior team that took 2nd at the 24hr National Championships. Signed to EXPO for 2009.

Waukesha West High School life - Sophomore who is consistently taking names while running Cross Country at the Varsity level. One of his most notable finishes this year was at the Whitefish Bay R. Vanden Avond Invite where he took 2nd out of 128 runners. Did I mention he is a Sophomore?



Theodore Peters aka The "O"

Bike Life - WORS Sport 15-16 Series 3rd Place and a Member of the 24hr EXPO Junior team that took 2nd at the 24hr National Championships. Not afraid to don the diaper. He also will be going EXPO for 2009, which is nice.

Hartford High School life - Sophomore on the Varsity Soccer squad. Saturday is their second round match up in the State Tournament. Their Oct. 9 state ranking was 6th. By the end of their season they should be locked into a top 10 state ranking. Maybe even make it to state depending on tomorrow's game. Winter will bring him Basketball.
