The pair of Cheyenne Awai of (Heat­wave CC) and Ben­jamin Mout­tet of Break­away CC warmed up with vic­to­ries ahead of the Na­tion­al Cri­teri­um Cham­pi­onships Elite cat­e­gories, which is sched­uled to take place lat­er this year.

At Sun­day’s T&T Cy­cle Fed­er­a­tion’s Road Race Cri­teri­um Keep Fit Se­ries at the Trinci­ty In­dus­tri­al Es­tate, Awai got the bet­ter of a four-woman field in the 8-Lap Elite di­vi­sion for the gold medal, to add to the se­ries of suc­cess­es she has had for the year.

Awai crossed the fin­ish line ahead of Mar­sha Trepte of Raiders Cy­cle and Mul­ti­sport Club, who fol­lowed close­ly be­hind in the sec­ond po­si­tion, while third was Kani­ka Paul-Payne, the na­tion­al cham­pi­on in the In­di­vid­ual Pur­suit.

The men’s cri­teri­um con­sist­ed of a 35-Lap grind which Mout­tet led from the start and even­tu­al­ly sealed the win in, as he rep­re­sent­ed the Break­away club. The field con­sist­ed of 18 rid­ers but Mout­tet on­ly had nine to com­pete against as nine oth­ers did not fin­ish the race.

Fol­low­ing Mout­tet, was Mau­rice Bur­nette who rode un­at­tached while Josias Valasquez of the Heat­wave club stormed home for third and the bronze medal.
