It is Sunday night, and the U of M team has left Trexlertown after a successful weekend. Andrew T, Eric S, Michael S, and Satoshi I left Saturday night to drive straight back to Minneapolis, where they arrived this late afternoon. Ben R stayed the night in Pennsylvania and drove up to Boston today.

Overall, we can be very happy with our results. Ben stood on the podium three times, including a third place omnium finish among the men. The rest of the team posted personal best times each in at least one of the events. Eric's great ride in the points race qualifier deserves special mention. As a result, the U of M was the top ranked team among those without any female riders. Next year we need to change that and bring along some women to grab a podium place in the team omnium!
