Two Rockwall ISD students recently competed at the annual State Championship road races held in Killeen, TX, sanctioned by USA Cycling and the Texas Bicycle Racing Association. Brett Ross, a senior at RHHS, and Jack Makohon, a 7th grader at Cain MS, competed in both the category championships on Saturday and the age-based championships on Sunday. These races were the final races of the 2018 road race season.
Brett Ross won the road race for 17-18 year-olds, making him the State Champion for the second year in a row. Jack Makohon placed 4th in the 13-14 year-old race. In July, Jack competed in the USA Cycling Road Racing National Championships held in Maryland, where he placed 15th out of nearly 50 of the top 13-14 year-olds in the United States.
Both young men were thrilled to end the road race season on such high notes and will immediately begin training during the off-season for the 2019 season that will begin in February.
