Before becoming a cyclist, Guarnier was a national-level swimmer and was named a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American in 2001.

After shoulder injuries ended her swimming career at Middlebury College, Guarnier took up training for triathlons. When another student in her dorm suggested bike racing, she gave it a try and loved it so much she dropped triathlons to focus solely on cycling.

Guarnier graduated from Middlebury College Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor’s degree in neuroscience.

While working as an investment banker on Wall Street, Stevens was introduced to cycling by her sister, Angela, over Thanksgiving in 2007 and began racing the following year with New York City’s Century Road Club Association. In 2009, she left the financial world to become a professional cyclist and ended up representing Team USA that year at the UCI Road World Championships.

Her rapid rise from amateur to pro stood out enough for USA Cycling Vice President of Athletics Jim Miller to notice her competing in regional races while still working on Wall Street and invite her to be a part of USA Cycling’s National Development Program.

Evie was a stellar collegiate tennis player at Dartmouth.

About the Women’s Team Pursuit Teams of four ride 4km around the velodrome in the qualifying round, and the top eight times move on to the first round. The eight teams are seeded based on time, and placed into the following heats*:

Heat 1: The 6th fastest team faces the 7th fastest team Heat 2: The 5th fastest team faces the 8th fastest team Heat 3: The 2nd fastest team faces the 3rd fastest team Heat 4: The fastest team faces the 4th fastest team

*Teams start on opposite sides of the track. The team that completes the 4km in the shortest time advances. If one team catches up with the other before 4km is completed, the race is over.

The winners of Heats 3 and 4 face off in the final for gold and silver.

The remaining six teams are re-seeded based on first round times. Of those six teams, the top two fastest first round times match up for bronze, while the remaining four face off for places 5-8.

About the Men’s Keirin An electric bike sets the pace at the front of the pack and cannot be overtaken. In the final 700m, the pacer leaves the track and the athletes race to the finish line.

The top two riders from each of the four first round heats advance, while all other riders move on to the first round repechage. Winners from the four repechage heats join those who advanced in the first round to make a second round field of 12.

The top three riders from both second round heats advance to the final 1-6 race. All others advance to the 7-12 race.

About the Omnium Known as the decathlon or heptathlon of cycling, riders compete in six disciplines that demand both power and endurance over two days: a flying lap time trial, point race, elimination race, individual pursuit, scratch race and time trial. The athlete who accumulates the highest point total is the winner.

Matt first took to track cycling at 6 years old with the Air Products development programs at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center.

In 2010, Matt won both the junior 17-18 and elite men’s keirin national championships. At 17 years old, he became the youngest male to ever win an American elite track national championship.

Matt writes “Believe” on his handlebars at events, tapping it just before he races to help focus and to remind him that, “if I believe in myself, I can do anything”.

Matt is studying electrical engineering at the Penn State University Schreyer Honors College and will graduate in December.

His dad is his full time coach. They do the majority of my training on a track bike on a backroad near Matt’s house with a motorcycle and not on a track.

With parents who had been racing bikes for several decades, Bobby entered his first cycling competition when he was just 4 years old. He won his first junior national title in 1997 at 13.

Bobby’s brother, Syd, who suffered brain damage from a lack of oxygen at birth, is also a competitive cyclist and has won multiple Special Olympics gold medals.

Bobby became an omnium specialist after the UCI and IOC changed the Olympic program following the 2008 Games, dropping the individual pursuit, points race and Madison.

Bobby’s third-place finish at the 2014 UCI World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, was the first-ever world cup medal for an American male in the omnium.

He credits much of his stamina and tactical sense in the mass-start and endurance track events to his time spent training and racing on the road. Bobby is a frequent competitor in the U.S. pro criterium scene and has raced on continental teams for several years.

Brooke took to racing at 6 years old after watching her brother race on their local BMX track in Tulare, Calif.

After consistently climbing podiums in the age group events, a 16 year-old Brooke solidified her place as a future star in 2009 when she won two world titles and a national championship.

Brooke was the youngest person ever to make a main event at a Supercross World Cup in 2009 and the only junior elite to reach the top 10 in the 2010 Supercross series.

Initially, she just missed earning a place on the 2012 Olympic Team and was named the alternate. When an unfortunate crash in training left Arielle Martin injured and unable to compete just days before the team was to leave for London, Brooke was London bound. She overcame a qualifying round crash to make the main event, placing eighth overall.

After her former gymnastics coach was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Alise began hosting an annual event, The Alise Post MS Race for a Cure, at her home track in Minnesota, with varying events run in conjunction with a local BMX race to raise funds for MS.

Her family has been the driving force behind the development and growth of Pineview Park BMX track in St. Cloud, Minn., which was turned from a vandalized city park into one of the best BMX facilities in the country.

In early 2014, Alise lost her mom, Cheryl, to melanoma cancer. “Cheryl Strong” became her motto, and honoring her mom’s memory has become a driving force in her racing.

Alise will marry fiancé Sam Willoughby (Australian BMX Olympic silver medalist) on April 15, 2017.

Nic started riding BMX bikes through his father, Donavon, who is one of the most successful Team Managers in the sport of BMX with more than 10 National No.1 team titles to his name. Nic has always been a consistent member of the winning teams run by his father.

Nic won his first UCI Supercross World Cup race in 2008 in Salt Lake City at 18.

Before turning pro, Nic won back-to-back National No.1 Amateur Championships in the ABA in 2007 and 2008.

Giving back is an important part of Nic’s life off the bike. He organized his third Homeless Handout in San Diego in early 2014, providing food, blankets and more to people in need.

Corben Sharrah (pronounced like “hurrah”) was only 2 when his parents brought home a bike that they got from a “big box” store. He’s been hooked on the sport ever since.

Corben designed and built a BMX practice track in his backyard to sharpen his skills. While not a full-sized competition track, it included two Supercross-like doubles, a rhythm section, a few rollers of various size and a full set of dirt jumps.

As an amateur, Corben won the 2009 National No. 1 Championship in ABA.

An avid fan of going fast, Corben is often spotted driving his Corvette Z06 around his hometown of Tucson, with his BMX bike attached to the roof rack. Hey says that spinning it out at 100 mph is one of the scariest things he has ever done.

About Mountain Bike Cyclists compete on a course comprised of narrow stone and grass trails with steep uphill and downhill sections that often include natural obstacles, such as rocks and logs. The multiple lap cross-country format is used at the Olympics, and the men’s race requires more laps on the 5km circuit than the women’s race. The first cyclist to complete all the laps and cross the finish line wins the race.
