Rice cycling team excels at championships

The Rice University Cycling Team (RUCT) completed its first collegiate road season since its revival last year with a first-place finish in Division 2 of the South Central Collegiate Cycling Conference (SCCCC) championships of the National Collegiate Cycling Association April 25. 

RUCT competed in three events at the SCCCC: the men’s C road race, women’s B road race and men’s C team time trial.

RUCT finished third in the men’s C team time trial event. Alumna Tori Gascoyne ’09 placed second in the women’s B category, and Jones College senior Daniel Antworth placed eighth in the men’s C category.

RUCT merged with the Rice Triathlon Team to form Rice University Cycling and Triathlon in fall 2009.
