Hammer posts impressive win in L.A.
Women's pursuit podium. L to R: Thorburn, Mirabella, Hammer,
Armstrong.
After taking a year off
from competitive cycling, Sarah Hammer (Temecula,
Calif.) made a triumphant return to the sport with an impressive victory
in the women’s 3km individual pursuit as the USA Cycling Elite National
Track
Championships got underway in suburban Los Angeles. Hammer clocked the
second-fastest time ever recorded at the ADT Event Center velodrome, a
remarkable feat considering the venue was the site of both the elite
world championships and a world cup event since opening its doors a year
ago.
The 21-year-old Hammer clocked a time of 3 minutes, 41.177 seconds to
sweep both the elite and U23 national titles with a convincing
head-to-head victory over 2004 Olympian Erin Mirabella
(La Habra, Calif.).
Hammer was the top seed after posting an even faster time – a 3:41.084
– in the qualifying round while Mirabella earned the right to challenge
Hammer in the gold medal round with a solid 3:44.150 of her own.
For comparison, Hammer’s time would have placed her second at the Elite
World Championships held at the ADT Event Center last March. It also
would have won her three of the four events on the UCI World Cup
circuit.”
