What a weekend! After a long winter of hard training, the team headed south for their first races of the season, hosted at Rutgers University. You’ll be hearing soon from Todd or Ian with a more detailed description of the weekend. In the meantime here are some highlights: sophomores John Hawthorne and Ian Nesbitt came in on top of the Men’s D field, Junior Erik Levinsohn absolutely tore up Men’s C, and freshman Amy Levine crushed her competition as the lone women’s rider, fighting her way to excellent finishes in her first bike races ever. Henry Schmidt ’14, Todd Brenner ’14, and JJ Augenbraun ’11 all had solid results, bringing home eighth place overall for the Williams contingent in the division!

Hawthorne: D2 ITT (5th), Crit (3rd), and Points (3rd)
Nesbitt: D2 ITT (1st), Points (2nd)
Levinsohn: C2 ITT (2nd), Points (1st)
Levine: C ITT (4th), Crit (4th), and Points (5th)
