2013 USA Junior Road Nationals Success!!!

Slipstream Craddock sweeps the Jr 17-18 Time Trial Podium: (L-R; Zeke Mostov - 2nd, Michael Dessau - 1st, Jordan Cullen - 3rd)

Jordan finished an impressive 3rd in the USA Road National Time Trial Championship out of 115 riders. Even more exciting, his Slipstream-Craddock team swept the podium, with Michael Dessau 1st, and Zeke Mostov 2nd.  The team also placed Jake Silverberg in 8th, and Jonathon Schilling in 11th. Amazing performances!

Jordan followed that up with a 10th place finish in the Road Race, on a very challenging course, worthy of the national championships. His team gave them his full support, with Mostov and Dessau both finishing in the top 20. Congratulations to Logan Owen on dominating the road race, and winning his first National Road Championship!

The team capped the week off with the Criterium, where they rode aggressively, culminating in another podium, with Michael Dessau  finishing 3rd. More congrats to Logan Owen on taking his 2nd National Road Championship.

Both Zeke Mostov and Michael Dessau have met the automatic selection criteria for the 2013 Junior Road Worlds in Florence, Italy late September. Congratulations and good luck!

Jordan came into his final Junior Road Nationals with confidence, but no expectations. Needless to say, he was thrilled with his performance. He finished on the Time Trial Podium at each of the last 5 Jr National Championships, and finished with a total of 9 top 10 finishes overall. Congratulations to Jordan on his great cycling success!

Up next are US Junior Track Nationals in Trexlertown, PA July 24th-28th. He will be competing in the 3K Individual Pursuit, 4K Team Pursuit (with Dessau, Mostov, and Schilling), and the Madison (with Dessau). Jordan and his teammates are shooting to qualify for Junior Track Worlds, Aug 7-11 in Glasgow, Scotland.
