Dubbo cyclists on top of the world
DANNY BARBER, Dylan Eather, Haylee Fuller and Zara Fuller joined forces for another medal winning haul at the National Junior Track Cycling Championships.
Danny is Australian Sprint Champion, underlining his credentials in a frantic, almost record-breaking dash. He missed the time by a fraction but claimed the treasured gold.
Danny’s teammate Dylan Eather and Newcastle-based rider Louis Stibbard then joined forc-es to take out the highly-prized team sprint event for NSW.
Dylan Eather narrowly missed gold in the 500m time trial, backing up with determination after his win at the state titles.
Two-time National Road champion, Haylee Fuller, backed up on the track. She brought home a bronze medal as part of the Under-17 women’s Team Pursuit then grabbed a meri-torious second place and silver medal in the highly strategic and physically draining 50 lap points race.
NSW Debutante Zara Fuller, in the Under-15 women’s category, was the aggressor in her points race, shaking quite a few riders before taking on the scratch race Left to right, Danny Barber, Zara Fuller, Vaughn Eather (coach), Haylee Fuller, Dylan Eather
and finishing 7th out of the best Under-15 female riders in the country.
NSW Team Assistant Coach and Dubbo coach, Vaughn Eather, was a key member of the support staff. His tactical decisions and dedication both at the event and during the year are responsible for many of these results.
Vaughn works hand-in-hand with club coach Gus Dawson who also travelled to Melbourne to support our talented junior riders. He provided the calm, experienced head to prevent any nerves taking hold.
Dubbo’s quest for medals will continue shortly at the National Masters Championships.
