BY COLIN THORSEN

Rushlee Buchanan and Patrick Bevin pulled off a Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club quinella at the 2014 Criterium National Cham- pionship. The Commonwealth Games representatives won their respec- tive open men’s and women’s races held in Takapuna’s CBD on Friday evening — two years after their club-mate Hayden McCormick took out the men’s title at the same venue in 2012. In the open women’s race, New Zealand endurance track team member Buchanan edged out team-mate Lauren Ellis, with last year’s champion Emily Collins third. Buchanan says she made sure that she got into a good position on the wheel of internationals Jaime Neilsen and Laura Ellis on the final corner, then timed her sprint finish to perfection. Te Awamutu Sports filled five of the top eight placings — Racquel Sheath claiming fourth spot, Bry- ony Botha sixth, Emma Petersen TC271114SP17B TC271114SP17A seventh and Neilsen eighth.
