Haley Juno-Galdes, Andi Smith, and Jane Wolcott of Menlo Park recently won a bronze medal at the USA Cycling 2010 Elite Track Nationals in Carson, California.
On Sept. 30, they competed in the team pursuit at an indoor, 250-meter racing track used for brakeless bicycles.
The women usually train together with the Webcor/Alto Velo bicycle racing development team.
“I’m impressed with their ability to work as a team, and to accommodate each others’ weaknesses and strengths,” said Dan Smith of SportVelo in Menlo Park, who coached them “I think that they exceeded their own expectations, but I know that they each have plenty of potential that we will see in the year to come.”
