We will call up the top-8 Short Track finishers in each category (World Cup style) to the front row of the Junior Wildflower Classic on Sunday.

Riders will compete in their respective age-group based on their official racing age determined on December 31, 2024. This is consistent with USA Cycling and we hope this alleviates some confusion for those who participate in USAC events. Categories that are consistent with our Triple Crown Championships are 8-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18. We will offer a “friendly” contest for riders under eight-years-old.

  • 12 pm: Short Track awards (top-3 places) will immediately follow the event at the Tommy V. Field gazebo
