TREXLERTOWN, Pa. \u2013 Multiple riders will be hoisting some hardware on Friday night during the 9th<\/sup> Annual Mike Walter 100 Lap Madison\/U.S. Women\u2019s Open at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center.<\/p>\n The feature event of the evening will be the 100 lap madison, honoring the late Mike Walter. Although the anticipated field for the event is full of talent, there should be some new names on the trophy as defending champions Marcel Kalz and Bobby Lea will not be in action.<\/p>\n The Chairman\u2019s Cup will be awarded to the winner of the U.S. Women\u2019s Open, who is the rider that wins the women\u2019s overall omnium. Again, a new name looks to be etched into history as defending champion Missy Erickson is not expected to be in action.<\/p>\n Additionally, the Legends 45+ category will be in action on Friday night.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to view the complete schedule for Friday night\u2019s events.<\/p>\n Fans are encouraged to bring their dogs to T-Town to watch the Olympic-caliber action as it is the second Dog Day of Summer at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center this season.
