The event was held at the Velo Sports Center, part of the StubHub Center, in Carson, California.<\/p>\n<p>The two national championships were earned by Justin Butsavage, who was a member of the winning team pursuit squad in the men\u2019s 17-18 category, and Divya Verma, who won the overall omnium in the junior women\u2019s 11-12 omnium.<\/p>\n<p>Other gold medals were earned by Sophia Shuhay (junior women\u2019s 15-16 time trial, sprint, and team sprint), Emma Workowski (junior women\u2019s 15-16 team pursuit), and Nathan Roberts (junior men\u2019s 15-16 team pursuit). Verma earned two gold medals, in the time trial and the scratch race to help catapult her to the overall omnium crown.<\/p>\n<p>T-Town Elite was plenty familiar with the podium by week\u2019s end, however, as Jonah Hover, Reagan Pattishall, Grayson Hauck, Nicholas Roberts, Matt Smith, and Connor Thompson also earned medals in various events, with nearly all of the aforementioned riders making trips to the podium in multiple events during the week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cT-Town Elite fought hard last week,\u201d said Marty Nothstein, VPCC executive director and T-Town Elite coach. \u201cThere are a lot of talented riders in the U.S. and our riders battled with them every day. I am proud of their results and cannot wait to get back to work to build towards next year\u2019s nationals championships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usacycling.org\/2017\/elite-juniors-track-nationals\">here<\/a> to view all the results from last week\u2019s national championships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#ttown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Information &amp; Image Provided By:<br \/>\nTyler Trumbauer<br \/>\nCommunications &amp; Business Manager<br \/>\nValley Preferred Cycling Center<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thevelodrome.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/thevelodrome.com\/<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2957,69,482],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cycling","category-in-the-valley","category-press-release-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/USA-Cycling.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/41284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
