highly refined sporting instincts, and darts were introduced.

Criterium attracts cyclists for a ...

Race around campus
Experienced bicycle racers from around the
state and local novices will be shifting gears on
campus Sunday during the second annual
University Criterium.
A criterium is a bicycle race held on a closed
circuit course, where racers must complete a
set number of laps. Sunday’s course is an
8-mile loop around the EMU, along Agate and
University streets and 13th and 14th avenues.
Three races are scheduled for the day-long
event, sponsored by the University club sports
program. Two will be limited to experienced
and licensed bicycle racers. The third will be
for beginners.
Dave Combs, president of the University
cycling team, is encouraging anyone who
wants to try their hand — and legs — at the
sport to enter the 8-mile, 10-lap novice race,
scheduled to begin at noon. Cash and bicycle
paraphanalia totalling $125 will be distributed
among the first 14 finishers.
Before the novice competition, bikers
licensed in categories three and four will ride a
16-mile race The last race, and normally the
most exciting spectator event, will begin at 1
p.m. when category one and two riders will
race a 40-lap, 32-mile course.
Categories are determined by the number of
year's of bicycle competition. Category one
and two riders generally are more exper
ienced, averaging five or six years of competi
tion.
During the lower category race, cycling
tactics, cornering ability and careful bike han
dling will become key factors in winning.
Criteriums are known for the high level of
speed maintained throughout the race.
On the University course Sunday, category
one and two riders will average between 25
and 30 mph, slowing only marginally to round
the four right-angle corners along the course.
Because of the closed-course nature of the
races, criteriums are the most popular specta
tor events in cycling. The best postions to view
the race is at the corners, where the racers’
skill is often most apparent, or at the start/fin
ish line where all the sprints take place.
The start/finish of Sunday’s race is located
on 14th Avenue, beside the covered tennis
courts.
For more information on the races, contact
the University cycling team through the club
sports program in the basement of the EMU.

to take a 96-91 lead with 2:55 to
play.
Two baskets by Tom Hender
