Ontario Junior Track Athletes Capture Medals (and World Titles) Three Years in a Row

The velodrome opened 8 years ago in Milton, and for the current cohort of athletes, there wasn’t a time when they didn’t have access to a world class facility to train and race. This is part of what has contributed to Ontario’s success. However, it is also a reflection of the coaches, clubs and programs helping introduce and develop athletes in the sport of track cycling.  Ontario is also fortunate to have a cohesive system in place where coaches recognize we all have a role of play in the development of athletes and work together with other clubs and Ontario Cycling to help build an effective system. This has allowed for the establishment of programs such as the Ontario Track Academy, providing identified athletes enhanced on-track training opportunities and off-bike support through nutrition and strength and conditioning from the Canadian Sport Institute. 

On behalf of Ontario Cycling, we want to not only congratulate all the athletes who represented Canada at the Junior World Track Championships but also thank all the coaches, clubs, and volunteers who helped grow track cycling in Ontario.
