Nicole Mitchell finished in third place and won the Bronze Medal in the Individual Time Trial today in Puerto Rico, as the 2014 Caribbean Senior Cycling Championships got underway.
Mitchell’s finish was repeating her performance of 2013 in Curacao. In fact, the women’s podium was a duplicate of the prior year with Kathryne Bertine of St. Kitts & Nevis in first and Tamico Butler of Antigua in second.
Zoenique Williams, Bermuda’s second entry in the event finished fourth, just 18 seconds behind Mitchell.
In the Men’s event, Mark Hatherley was Bermuda’s sole representative in the 44 kilometer event. Finishing in 13th place, Hatherley was well adrift of the winner Efren Ortega of Puerto Rico who averaged over 48 kph with a time of 55:36.
Racing continues tomorrow with the Road Race events and the entire team will be participating. Mitchell and Williams both Medaled in the event last year and will be a formidable combo against Bertine, Butler and strong local competition.
Dominique Mayho, Darren Glasford and Che’quan Richardson will join Hatherley for a race of 138 kilometres comprised of 5 tough and hilly circuits.
