Ontario Athletes Take Home 14 National Titles at Canadian Road Championships
The Canadian Road Championships returned to Beauce, QC for 2024 with some challenging courses featuring long climbs and quick descents. Additionally, athletes, especially those competing on Sunday, had to navigate torrential rain and cooler temperatures in their pursuit of a podium result.
This was this first year the Championships included a dedicated U17 category for the Time Trial and Road Race (criterium combined results with U19). This proved to be beneficial for Ontario with a strong cohort of young riders coming through the system. On Friday, Team Ontario athletes captured gold in both the U17 Men (Jake McLean) and U17 Women (Elly Moore) as well as in several para-cycling categories with gold medal performances from Maarten Duif (M H1-H2), Joey Desjardins (M H3-H5), Shelley Gautier and Katty Abran (H3-H5).
In the road races, Ontario athletes continued their success taking home 8 national titles. Things got started with Alex Fangeat winning the U17 Women’s race with Eve Buczkowski right behind her finishing in 2nd and Jayden McMullen taking the top step in the U19 Men’s race. In the Men’s Elite race, Michael Woods used his strength on the climbs to attack enroute to capturing gold. In the para-cycling races, Team Ontario was well represented with five (5) gold medals including Shelley Gautier (W T1), Maarten Duif (M H1-2), Joey Desjardins (M H3-5), Lachlan Hotchkiss (M C4-5), and Katty Abran (W H3-5).
