This past weekend, Canadian Mark Ernsting took on a few of the Texas elite trackies at the Texas State Championships. Mark won everything he contested at took the omnium. Mark also turned in the fastest pursuit so far this year in the USA. What is interesting is that Mark‚s time for the pursuit was 10 seconds faster than the fastest pursuit time at the US World Cup qualifying event (3 weeks ago on the same track). One wonders what Mark would have been able to do if he had someone on the other side of the track pushing him??

Congratulations to Mark.
