The Marian University Cycling Team is a nationally-competitive varsity cycling team with a mission to develop student cyclists into life-long leaders and learners who commit to academic accomplishment, team achievement, and personal excellence on and off the bike. We are sanctioned by USA Cycling, the country’s governing body for cycling, and compete in all five collegiate cycling disciplines: track, mountain bike, cyclocross, BMX, and road. Marian Cycling is a member of the Midwest Collegiate Cycling conference, which includes Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Missouri. Cycling is a reason that many student-cyclists may consider Marian, but academics are number one. We work very closely with all student-athletes to ensure that everything is going well in the classroom as a priority above cycling. We ask all riders to compete in at least two disciplines. The fall semester has track, mountain bike, and cyclocross, and the spring semester focuses on BMX and road racing. Many riders compete in three or even four disciplines, but this is not required. Riders in all disciplines receive training and coaching support year round. Everyone on the team races: there are levels to accommodate riders of all experiences, from brand-new (cat 5) to professionals. Collegiate cycling is open to anyone with the intent to not only get new riders into the sport, but also to allow those at the elite level to get an education while continuing to develop as a cyclist.
What is Marian Cycling all about? We are a TEAM of student-athletes (between 60 and 70 total between men and women in all disciplines) who take our mission and goals very seriously, while having a great deal of fun. We use school as the foundation of why we are together and what our primary target is, and build upon that with cycling as the method of physical, emotional, and leadership development. On and off the bike, we treat each person as a unique individual and work towards the goals associated with each person's process of intellectual, spiritual, moral, and social development.
What cycling facilities does Marian have? Marian University operates the Indy Cycloplex on behalf of the City of Indianapolis, a 42-acre park that includes the Major Taylor Velodrome, BMX track, cyclocross course, and mountain bike trails (including dual slalom and singletrack). While this is primarily a community park, Marian cyclists are a primary user group and have access to the facilities as their 'home turf' for training and racing. In addition, Marian Cycling has a recently-renovated indoor training studio on campus at the Paul J Norman Cycling Center, the home of PowerBooster™. This studio includes a over ten stations with smart trainers linked to the PerfPro software, a Wattbike, TruTrainer Rollers, and a NormaTec recovery area.
