Jennie Reed added to the USA's medal count in the Pan American Road and Track Championships on Wednesday, taking her second medal of the week with a silver in the match sprint after she bagged the gold in Mondays' keirin.
Reed took two out of three head-to-head sprints from Mexico's Nancy Contreras to advance to the gold-medal final against Cuba's Lizandra Guerra. Guerra, who finished second to Reed in the keirin two days ago, bested Reed to claim the gold.
In his first race since announcing his return to competitive cycling, Colby Pearce placed fifth in the men's points race. Pearce was one of several riders to lap the field and scored a total of 35 points to finish 11 back from winner Arles Castro of Colombia.
The U.S. is all but assured a fourth medal on Thursday as Michael Blatchford qualified for the gold-medal final in the men's sprint. Blatchford advanced out of his semi-final round and will face Julio Herrera of Cuba for the continental title.
