Race Resume and Career Highlights

Ben Senkerik

USAC number 294148

Mountain Bike category 1

Cyclocross category 2

Road category 2

Objective:

            I’ve raced successfully in Category 1, for Mountain Bike Cross Country, for 3 years. I have upgraded to Category 2 for road this season and also upgraded to Men A for collegiate road. My biggest accomplishments in 2013 were taking 5^th in the team TT at Collegiate Mountain bike Nationals. Also being the 19-23 Cat 1 Wisconsin Mountain Bike State Champion and taking 1^st in Wisconsin Off Road Series 19-23 age group 2013. I was also ranked, by USA Cycling, number 2 in the nation for 20-24 year olds in short track XC and cross country, 6^th in the nation for 20-29 year olds for cross country and 6^th in the nation for Cat 2, 21 year olds for cyclocross. My previous best’s were being 1^st in the nation for Cat 1 cross country, 19 year olds in 2012 and taking 3^rd at the 2011 collegiate cross country mountain bike nationals. My goals for the 2014 season are to get my pro mountain bike license, be a top 10 caliber rider for WORS, place top 5 at collegiate mountain bike nationals and possibly upgrade to a 1 for cross. My goals for the next couple of years are, place top 5 for the entire Wisconsin Off Road Series, get on a Pro sponsored team, compete in the Pro Cross Country Tour and race a World Cup race.
