Te ™ es Golay’s win in Boling Springs puts her on road to Olympics BOILING SPRINGS - Linda Brenneman's second place finish in Saturday's final cycling event of the Women's Cycling Trials se- cured the Dana Point, California native a spot to the Women's event in Atlanta. But for Jeanne Golay, the over- all winner in the May 2 race, rest would not come until she heard the official call stating she would be on the road to Atlanta as well. Golay, 30, came into the race a 1992 Olympian and nine time Senior National champion. She was the outright winner in Saturday's final race by far, beating Brenneman at 2 hours, 21 minutes and 43 seconds - a race that saw the two women competing hard against each other at a close 61.2 miles of course. This race was the last of five trials before going to Atlanta. The second place winner of the point standings said "I think I de- serve a spot." Her spot, as well as a third re- ceived by Alison Dunlap, the third place finisher in Saturday's race, was announced Sunday in Charlotte. As for Brenneman, the spot was expected by most. Brenneman, 34, had been lead- ing the point standings for quite sometime in the previous four tri- als. Representing Chevrolet-Klein, the cyclist received third place in Martinsburg, Va., first place in Wheeling, WVa., and third in Concord. She received jerseys for outstanding points in Pittsburgh and Concord. "lI didn't think about my chances," said Brenneman, I just thought about what I could do." Brenneman's win comes in as quite a surprise for most, since having her son two years ago. "I came back, not really com- mitted, but I won a few races, and I kept going." Brenneman said that since hav- ing her child, racing has become more of a fresher sport since all her time is not consumed in training. Both the men's and women's cycling teams for Team Saturn (Golay's team), as well as other cy- clists, made their stay at the Gardner-Webb University campus preparing for the races in Concord, Charlotte and in Boiling Springs. The riders trained on roads in the town and participated in a pre- race rally on main Street the evening before the final race so- cializing with locals. During their stay in Boiling Springs, some of the riders visited the local schools and talked to the children. In return, the local stu- dents took their places along the 61 mile course and sent chalk greet- ings to the cyclist on the roads.
