The USCF Elite Track Nationals continued last night with the men’s 200m time trial, the women’s 500m time trial, and the points race. Michael Blatchford (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Becky Conzelman (Allentown, Pa.), and James Carney (Durango, Colo.) became the newest national champions.

18-year-old U.S. Olympic Training Center resident athlete Michael Blatchford (Colorado Springs, Colo.) posted a 10.719 in the 200m time trial last night to qualify with the fastest time for the men's sprint. 2004 Olympians Giddeon Massie (Lansdale, Pa.) and Christian Stahl (Bethany, Conn.) placed second and third respectively with a 11.019 and a 11.076.

Becky Conzelman continued her winning ways last night, adding another national championship title to her collection. After winning gold in the women’s sprint on Wednesday, the Pennsylvania native raced the 500m in 36.272 to best silver medalist Annette Hanson (Kirkland, Wash.) and bronze medalist Miranda Moon (Beaverton, Ore.).

Jame Carney bested 2004 Olympian Colby Pearce in the points race to take the win with 111 points. Pearce was second with 99, while 2003 National points race Champion Jonas Carney took the third spot on the podium.
