Double WI State Junior Criterium Champion

He's smiling sort of

Jordan wrapped up 2 more WI state championships. This time at the State Criterium in Ripon. He won the Juniors 10-14 solo, and then immediately followed it up with a strong 3rd place finish in the Juniors 15-18, 1st place WI Juniors 15-16. He now has 15 state championships between TT, Road, Crit, and CX.

The course featured 4 corners, with a small climb and descent on the back side, similar to Northfield. The younger juniors race was down to 4 riders after a couple laps, and Jordan was eventually able to get away solo for the win. Lionel Rocheleau finished 2nd, Pete Davis 3rd.

Jordan said the older juniors race was just as fast as the older juniors at the Quad Cities crits. There were a ton of IS-Corp racers, as well as a handful of Baraboo sharks. Darrell Kohli was there from MI too. Jordan has raced with most of these guys before, and knows who to watch. Jordan was always vigilant in the group, went hard at the right times, and ultimately made the final selection of 3. Sam Stone, Darrell Kohli, and Jordan had the last 3 laps to sort it out. Stone opened up the sprint on the back side as they came upon lapped traffic, and Kohli made it though, but not Jordan. Stone held on for the win, Kohli 2nd, and Jordan 3rd. Well done guys.
