  Two Years in a Row!

  News, Race Results, Sponsors, Uncategorized No Comments

  The ladies of GHS Every Woman Cycling competed in the SC State Road Race Championships this weekend and for the second year in a row, came away with the State Championship Jersey… only difference was, this year, not only did we win the jersey, but Courtney McDonald won her first career USAC race in style!

  It was a tough day with the ladies of GHS Every Woman and Team Headstrong setting the pace on the first two laps.  In the final lap, 2 GHS teammates remained up front with the majority of the field.  Team Headstrong threw a block that caught teammate Heather Webber, however Courtney was able to get around and stay with the lead group.  And then there were two coming into the final stretch when Courtney turned on her afterburners and sprinted alone to the finish!

  Way to go Courtney!

  The next day we got to celebrate again as Courtney received her medal and jersey on stage in front of the crowd at the US Pro Cycling Championships.  Thanks to her results, as well as other teammates who raced throughout the year, the ladies of GHS Every Woman also came in 3rd place for the WE Race Team Competition.  Way to go ladies!!
