PROMAN's Higgins To Race Pan Am

Marin County, CA - USA Cycling announced earlier this week the nomination of PROMAN Hit Squad rider Cari Higgins to represent the USA at the upcoming Pan American Championships in Mexico.

Higgins is the current elite National Champion in 500m, match sprint, Keirin and team sprint. Cari had a successful winter campaign in Australia with wins and podiums at the Melbourne Revolution and Tasmanian Carnivals.

"It is an honor to get the chance to represent the US National Team in international competition", commented Higgins. "I am looking forward to the high level of competition and mixing it up on the boards in Mexico".

Higgins has been racing for four years. She is a mentor for the new PROMAN junior program, as well as a founder of the Boulder-based Flatiron Flyers Junior Cycling Project.

“I am very happy for this opportunity to get another PROMAN rider to a Championship event. Not only is Cari currently the best sprinter in the U.S she is a fantastic ambassador for the sport,” stated team manager Nicola Cranmer.

Cari will complete her Pan Am training at the ADT Velodrome in Carson, CA over the next few weeks.
