Joe Zukowski wins in Gering!
UPDATED 09/09/2024
Congrats to Joe Zukowski for winning the 13-14 age group at USAC’s Gravel National Championships in Gering, Nebraska, on Sunday. Joe came out on top in the 25-mile race after beating Steve Danielson, Tom Danielson’s son, in a sprint finish. The elder Zukowski brother also won the 13-14 age group in USAC’s Road Race National Championship earlier this summer. Joe’s younger brother, Ben, finished in 9th place after a mid-race crash. Defending National Champion in the 50-54 age group, Greg Scanlan finished in second place.
Full NoCo results are below.

Original Article:
Northern Colorado has 17 racers registered for USA Cycling’s Gravel Nationals in Gering, Nebraska, this coming Sunday. Greg Scanlan hopes to repeat as the men’s 50-54 champion on the 88-mile course. That category, in particular, will be fun to watch as it has four strong NoCo racers: Scanlan, Skrdla, Workman, and Dority. After winning road nationals, Joe Zukowski hopes to win the 13-14 age group, perhaps with some help from his younger brother Ben, who is also racing in that category on the 25-mile course. Also, look for Whit and Zack to have strong rides in the elites on the 131-mile course. The full NoCo roster with race distances is below and will be updated with results as they come in. As of Tuesday morning, 531 racers were registered.
We’ll have a review of Greg Scanlan’s Specialized Crux later this week.
