The Kansas State Road Race Age Group Championship took place in Arma, KS, on August 2. Racers were greeted with near perfect conditions for the 13-mile circuit course, which included a 500-meter long climb within a mile of the finish.

Donavon Hottman and Bill Wells earned silver and bronze, respectively for their efforts in the 65-69 age category, over the 26-mile course.

Frank Quinlan was a little off his game at the road race, but made up for that on the following day in the criterium races on the Pittsburgh State University campus. Quinlan outpaced his top KBAR competitor, David Wamsley, in pursuit of a podium finish in the KBAR series. The trio of Hottman, Quinlan and Wells have been frequent competitors in the KBAR 65+ races this year, fine tuning their race stategies as the season has progressed.

Greg Vaught strung the field out on a hill climb in the Men’s 50+ race, helping to secure silver for Jim Clevenger and bronze for Vaught in the 50-54 age category.

In the Men’s 35-49 age race, Kurt Wilson had a great race, placing sixth overall in a stacked field. Joe Kleidosty earned a silver medal in the 40-44 age category.

Nigel Vaught continued with his Midas touch, earning gold in the 11-12 age category.

Another successful weekend of racing, getting our title sponsor Keen Wealth Advisors on the podium in several categories!
