It’s official: Kaleb Koch (IS Corps) is a national champion, winning the 15-16 time trial Saturday, his third win in as many days, to secure the omnium in Trexlertown, Pa.
His teammate Chazz Martin was not a stranger to the podium, but his destiny would not be the top step this year: He finished 2nd in Saturday’s 17-18 scratch race and 2nd again in Sunday’s team sprint, a total of four such finishes over the weekend.
Meanwhile, John Tomlinson (XXX Racing-AthletiCo) finished out the weekend with a 2nd in the 17-18 flying time trial and a 4th in the Madison.

To clarify, Kaleb won the (standing start) 500m. I think John’s flying time trial is the “mass start test” described at: http://www.fixedgearfever.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=862
It’s not a medal event but more of a pass/fail kind of thing to select riders for the World Championships. It’s 33.598 (1st 500m) / 3:40.471(total for 3k) for 17-18.
