Three Commissaires inducted into the USA Cycling Commissaires’ Hall of Fame

To recognize the hard work and dedication of our community of commissaires, USA Cycling created the Commissaires’ Hall of Fame program. The USA Cycling Commissaires’ Hall of Fame exists to honor and recognize those commissaires who embody the spirit of officiating. Moreover, the honorees have made extraordinary contributions to the sport of cycling and its officiating community. Not only have they committed their lives through outstanding and dedicated service, but they also delivered those services at a consistently high level of talent and expertise, and demonstrated those qualities at local, national, and international events.

The 2026 Hall of Fame Inductees will join 10 other Hall of Fame recipients from years past. This year’s awards were presented during the Special Commissaire Recognition Webinar on March 9, 2026.

Andy started his commissaire career in the mid-1980s after a short stint as a racer. His first love was track officiating, working local, national, and international events at the then 7-Eleven Velodrome. Andy became one of the first Mountain Bike International Commissaires from the United States in 1993. In 1997, he earned his International Commissaire credential in track, road, and cyclocross, going on to officiate at three Olympic Games and numerous World Cups and World Championships in road, track, and mountain bike during his 33-year career as an IC.

Andy sat on the Professional Road Sports Committee and was chair of the National Technical Commission for many years. Andy was a mentor to all and was known around the world for his calm, professional leadership.

“It seemed Judy was everywhere” are the words you would hear from local racers and organizers in Pennsylvania. Although she worked some of the country’s largest races as a National Commissaire, Judy’s true impact on the sport can be seen in her home region. Whether passing on her knowledge as the Local Association liaison for new race directors, teaching a new commissaires’ class, or working as a commissaire, Judy’s support was paramount to the success of local racing.

Judy was also known as an expert chief judge. Her self-developed policies and procedures continue to be shared and used by commissaires to this day.

Bill’s 30-year officiating career in cycling ran from 1989-2019, and he served as chief referee or chief judge at more than 50 stage races during that time. He led and instructed introductory commissaire clinics in the Pacific Northwest and assisted in the development of several commissaire training manuals and best practices.

Bill also served as director of the Northwest Collegiate Cycling Conference for 13 years, sat on the Collegiate Sports Committee for six years, and was a valued member of the National Technical Commission. Bill was respected as a mentor, a guiding force, and a knowledgeable, calm presence in the officiating world.
