That mark bested the previous record of 17.33, which was set back in 2007 by Andy Lakatosh and Ben Barczewski.<\/p>\n<p>Yorick Bos and Jack Payne finished second in both the tandem sprints and Tandemonium.<\/p>\n<p>The other feature events were the Hubert Schleh Memorial Unknown Distance events. Two events, one for the men and the other for the women, were held in honor of Schleh, a T-Town Hall of Famer. Schleh was an official who worked the bell and the unknown distance was his favorite event. Each race had a $200 purse for the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Missy Erickson of Mertztown, Pennsylvania won the women&#8217;s version with Stephen Hall of Australia crossing the finish line first in the men&#8217;s edition.<\/p>\n<p>Colleen Gulick won the women&#8217;s omnium for the second straight week as she earned 25 points by way of winning the 500 meter chariots and the women&#8217;s elimination race. Kim Zubris finished in second place with 15 points.<\/p>\n<p>Hall used his unknown distance victory to help him earn first place in the men&#8217;s omnium. He totaled 21 points.<\/p>\n<p>The Service Electric broadcast of Tandemonium can be seen on tape delay on Saturday at 4pm and Sunday at 4pm.<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 World Series of Bicycling concludes next week with the Madison Cup\/Air Products Finals. Following the racing, is a Fireworks Extravaganza presented by the Schmoyer Funeral Home, the Trexler Funeral Home, and the J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home. Also, it is the final PeeWee Pedalers Exhibition Night, and the T-town Elite riders are set to be honored for their performances at Junior Track National Championships last month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#ttown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"ead-preview\"><div class=\"ead-document\" style=\"position: relative;\"><div class=\"ead-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thevalleyledger.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FWSB_8.19.16_Results.pdf&amp;embedded=true&amp;hl=en\" title=\"Embedded Document\" class=\"ead-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 500px;border: none;visibility: hidden;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-document-loading\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;z-index:10;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-main\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/loading.svg\" width=\"55\" height=\"55\" alt=\"Loader\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Loading...<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-foot\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-loading-foot-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/EAD-logo.svg\" alt=\"EAD Logo\" width=\"36\" height=\"23\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Taking too long?<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ead-document-btn ead-reload-btn\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/reload.svg\" alt=\"Reload\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"\/> Reload document\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>|<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSB_8.19.16_Results.pdf\" class=\"ead-document-btn\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/embed-any-document\/images\/open.svg\" alt=\"Open\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\"\/> Open in new tab\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Information provided by:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Tyler Trumbauer<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> PR\/Communications Assistant<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevelodrome.com\/\"><strong> Valley Preferred Cycling Center<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip;
