June 22, 2008

June 22, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. - "World Champions Sarah Hammer and Jennie Reed, through the American Women's Track Cycling Fund (AWTCF), have awarded Felt TK2 track bicycles ... to the DePauw University women's cycling team based in Greencastle, Indiana," notes Cycling News. "DePauw, known mostly for academic excellence, has shown a long history of developing cycling talent for young women, placing more women on the start line per capita than any other university in the Midwest."

The article notes that the University received three of the bikes. Kent Menzel, professor of communication and coach of the cycling team, says, "The Felt track bikes are the shot in the arm we need to raise our women's performance to an even higher level on the track. Because collegiate track competition covers multiple events, the Felt TK2 is particularly good for us as it races well in both mass start and timed events."
