Greenville Spinners Racing presented the South Carolina State Cyclocross championships on Saturday, November 14, sponsored by Charter Communications. More than 50 racers from SC, NC and Fl participated on a gorgeous, sunny -- and non-cyclocross-weather -- day. The course, built on the old Mill Stone Golf Village driving range, woods and cart paths, was both technical and fast, providing plenty of steep hills, obstacles, and fast sections.

Congratulations to Spinners Peter Mathern (3rd, CX 3) and Chris Plantec (2nd, Masters 35+), who both made the podium!

The new SC cyclocross champions are:
Noah Metzler, CX 1/2
Benjamin Grier, CX 3
Carlos Norena, CX 4
Debbie Gillespie, Women's CX 1/2/3
Nina Elliott, Women's CX 4
Jordan Marhanka, Juniors
Eric Christophersen, Masters 35+
Darin Marhanka, Masters 45+
John McBurney, Masters 55+
