U23 Men Results – 2022 USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships, Hartford, CT

The U23 racers followed the Juniors on Sunday at the 2022 USA Cycling Cyclocross Nationals. See how the U23 Men’s racing played out below, with reporting by USA Cycling and CXM.

After last year’s U23 Champ Scott Funston graduated to the Elites, Andrew Strohmeyer (Mount Airy, Md.; CX Hairs Devo: Trek Bikes) entered the U23 Men’s race at the 2022 Nationals as the favorite.

Strohmeyer said of his race, “I thought of a little plan, but I hit the first turn, and it kind of just went out the window and something told me to just go to the front and ride hard, and it worked. I like riding conditions like this. It’s probably the best condition for me. The course was changing each lap and getting more slippery. I just had to keep my breathing under control and hit the right lines, and make sure that I was staying upright.”

Strohmeyer finished his race in a time of 52:33 to earn the Men’s U23 national title.

Jules Van Kempen (Lafayette, Colo.; Alpha Bicycle Company – Groove Silverthorne) finished in second, and Dillon McNeill (Papillion, N.E.; CX Hairs Devo: Trek Bikes) finished in third.

Van Kempen discussed the key moment in his race that helped him secure silver, “At the top of the off-camber, one of the CX Hairs riders went down in front of me and slowed the other one down, I got a little gap and held that 5 seconds back to the finish… This is my best finish at a national championships. This is exciting for me, I would have loved to take the win, but I’m happy with second for now.”
