Columbia cyclists to represent USA in Europe
posted by Brent Hugh at 4/05/2007 09:00:00 PM
According to a Columbia Tribune article:
Last summer, Columbia's Zach Hockett was a 16-year-old stranger in a strange land (Belgium), who didn't speak the language (Dutch), with biking shorts discolored (blood).

He was part of a team of junior riders selected by USA Cycling to represent America in a series of European races. . . .

Hockett, a junior at Rock Bridge, survived and did well enough to convince USA Cycling to invite him back for another tour of Union Cycliste Internationale events. He will fly to Europe on May 2. And he's not the only Columbian who will be representing America in Europe. Nolan Froese, 17, also was selected.
