Powers Podiums in Beaufort



Yet another Aaron's Team member climbed atop the podium on night 3 of the SE Crit Series in Beaufort, SC.

Catherine Powers rode an agressive race from start to finish. Out numbered 2 to 1 by two of the strongest teams in the event Colivita Sutter Home and Cheerwine, Catherine positioned herself well going into the final lap to finish 3rd on the night.

With teammate Katharine Carroll in the "Leaders Jersey" it was beneficial to have a break get away tonight, said team director Carmen D'Aluisio. "This is an omnium event so there is a lot of point totaling going on." After the valuable 10 point mid-race sprint was won by Kat we were hoping a break would go up the road and that we would be in it. It was then up to Kat to try and out sprint some of her closest competitors.

Teams will be moving up to Waltersboro, SC tonight for the 4th race in the 8 race series.

Katharine Carrol still leads the series with Tina Pic of Colivita tight on her heals.
