T&T’s Teneil Campbell rode to her second bronze medal at the Road Continental Pan-Am Championships when she ended in third spot in the Road Race at Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay on Saturday.
A winner of a bronze medal earlier in the week in the women’s 26.2-kilometre time trial, Campbell crossed the finish line in two hours, 42.37 minutes to finish behind Colombian Juliana Londono David, who was sixth in the time trial, and the USA’s Skylar Schneider from a field of 67 cyclists.
It was the third Road Race bronze medal for Campbell at the Pan American Championships after she previously won bronze in 2019 and 2021.
Campbell, who was coming off an impressive return to track cycling at the recently concluded Pan American Track Cycling Championship in Asunción, Paraguay, where she won the women’s Points Race and added a bronze in the Elimination Race, earned her third-ever Pan American Road Championship medal when she crossed the finish line in 35 minutes, 28.18 seconds to finish in the third spot from a field of 24 riders.
Finishing ahead of the top T&T women’s cyclist was USA duo Ruth Edwards, who won in 34 minutes, 44.59 seconds, and Emily Ehrlich, who got silver in 34 minutes, 54.93 seconds.
The other T&T cyclist in Uruguay, Jadian Neaves, who enjoyed a relatively successful campaign in the just-concluded UCI Class II Easter International Grand Prix Cycling, which took place over three days of the Easter holidays from April 18 to 20, 2025, was 15th in the Under-23 Road Race in three hours, 44.46 minutes from amongst 70 riders.
Colombians Jonathan Guatiibonza Becerra and Cristian Velez Riveros took the top two spots ahead of third-placed finisher Ciro Perez Alvarez of Uruguay.
