Jan 26, 2023

Earlier this month, USA Cycling announced the 16 athletes headed to Hoogerheide, Netherlands to represent the United States at the 2023 UCI Cyclocross World Championships taking place February 3-5, 2023. Out of the 16 athletes, 14 are familiar faces to the DuPage Sports Commission, having competed right here in DuPage County.

 

As some of you may remember, in December 2021, 14,000 spectators witnessed the grit and glory that is championship racing at the 2021 USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships at Cantigny Park. These 14 athletes participated in this event, all finishing in the top six for their respective categories, several taking the top spots on the podium. 

 

This is yet another example of the high-caliber events taking place in DuPage County, which has welcomed athletes from around the United States, and in some cases the world, over the past several years. DuPage County has even been a stop on the road to the Olympics.

 

Behind every championship is a story. And behind every story, a face. We look forward to sharing more with you in 2023. Join us as we celebrate sports in DuPage — follow DSC to see big names coming to town, ticket information, event highlights, and more.
