Castlemaine Cycling Club’s Jade Maddern won two bronze medals last week representing Victoria at the 2022 Australian National Track Championships at the Anna Meares Velodrome in Brisbane.
Jade and Vic teammates Sam Gallagher and Ned Pollard started fast in the Elite Men’s Team Sprint, with Jade finishing it off to take the bronze medal in a time of 44.967.
Jade also rode in the Sprint rounds on Saturday March 26 qualifying in a time of 10.38 which was a personal best and raced his sprint rounds with great results.
Jade concluded his national campaign racing in the 1km Time Trial on Wednesday and was thrilled to also take out an individual national bronze for his efforts.
Following Jade’s success at the nationals, fellow Castlemaine Cycling Club members Emma Jackson, Leshae Maddern and Montanna Collier teamed up together on Saturday April 2 to take out the bronze medal in the Elite Women’s State team sprint at the DISC Velodrome in Melbourne.
Castlemaine Cycling Club coach Ken Maddern said this was a great result considering two riders were Under 19 and the third was a Master.
“To come away with a result like this against the Elite Riders was fantastic,” Maddern said.
