WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
Hear from Cycling Coach Jame Carney on the team's performance following the event when his quote becomes available.

THE FROSTY TAKE:
- Saturday morning, the team woke up bright and early to travel to Dalton, Ga to compete in the Dalton Grand Prix and the Georgia state road championships. 
- The course was considered a "lollipop" course. This means racers ride to the circuit, do their respective laps, then come back, rather than a full loop. Our women went out to race six laps. At the start of the final lap, Emma Frost took a flyer and went solo. She maintained the gap and came to the line solo for the win. Morgan Stephens won the field sprint, making her the cat 3 Georgia state road race champion, and Frost the cat ½ Georgia state road race champion. In the men's ¾, Jarod Gonzalez-Munoz went out for 8 laps. He stayed in the field and crossed the line 5th and 3rd out of cat 3s.
- In the men's pro 1/2/3, three riders were able to get up the road earlier in the 10-lap race. Two miles until the finish, Gerasimos Agoudemos attacked and went off the front of the field with one other rider. They held it to the finish, and Agoudemos held the other rider off in the sprint to finish in 4th place. Louie Schramm won the field sprint to finish in 6th place, Kaden Zimish was just behind in 7th place, and Owen Lloyd was a couple of riders back in 10th place.
- Schramm placed 4th in the 1/2/3 time trial.
- Sunday morning was the criterium in downtown Dalton. The women's race pace picked up quickly and dropped to a group of five women. It came down to a sprint, and Frost took the win with Stephens just behind in 3rd.
- In the men's 1/2/3, there was a lot of chaos from very early on. Zimish lapped up in the first group of riders. Quickly after, more of our riders lapped up, including Lloyd. The racers didn't spend much time sitting in before Lloyd, and some other riders decided to lap up again. Going into one lap to go, Schramm moved to the front to give Lloyd the lead-out. Lloyd took the sprint from the final corner to the line for the win, and Zimish came in 9th.
