Jax State Cycling Club's Inaugural Season Cut Short by Hurricane Helene but Ends on a High Note

The Jax State Cycling Club's inaugural season came to an early and unexpected end after just two races, as Hurricane Helene devastated cycling courses in Brevard, Lindsey Wilson, and Zirconia. Despite the abrupt conclusion, the club remained undeterred, finding success even in their shortened season.

Matthew Walden, the club president and Jax State's sole racer this season, delivered impressive performances in the Cross Country (XC) and Short Track Cross Country (STXC) events he competed in. At Auburn, he secured 12th place out of 19 competitors in STXC and 16th out of 24 in XC. Earlier, at Lees-McRae College, he achieved a commendable 15th-place finish out of 32 racers, overcoming a challenging start from the back of the pack.
