Witham Wheeler youth rider Sam Grundy rode in the first round of the National Youth Omnium Series at the Lee Valley Velodrome in London on Sunday 12^th March. The Omnium is a test of track cycling versatility, combing five events in a single day. It was Sam’s first race at a national level, but this didn’t deter him.  He managed 5^th place in the first event, the 1km individual time trial with a PB of 1 minute 18.81 secs.  This was followed by 16^th in the Scratch race, 13^th in the Elimination, 11^th in the Sprint, and 10^th in the Points race. This secured him 10^th place overall, a fantastic achievement.  Three further rounds are scheduled in which Sam aims to secure a place in the National finals in July.
