The 2024 USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships took place at the 250-meter Rock Hill Velodrome last week for four days of track racing. Unpredictable weather and a rain delay didn’t stop the athletes from bringing their absolute best to the track. After four intense days of racing, 98 National Titles were awarded.
It was a rapid-fire first day of competition. Riders would kick off the morning session with Sprint and Time Trial events and would end with Points Race events in the evening session. 24 riders took home the Stars and Stripes jersey on the first day.
