Veteran racer and recent ABD rider Josh Carter (Hotel San Jose) won the Division I criterium in Madison on Saturday, earning himself a national championship on behalf of Midwestern State.

A late break was not caught until the final lap. USA Cycling reported that Carter, a recent transplant to Texas and an accomplished sprinter, carried a large gap from the final corner to take the win.

Julio Jacobo (PYOC) finished 19th, riding for the University of Wisconsin.

Northwestern’s Will Nowak (Verizon u25), who appeared in Friday’s Sun-Times, was off the front for a good portion of Friday’s road race, but he did not finish. He may have been one of the many riders to succumb to a flat on the cold, wet Blue Mounds course.
