News – Irish record for Lydia Boylan at Euros

Lydia Boylan broke her Irish 500m Time Trial Record in the Women’s Omnium as five Irish riders completed a successful week of racing at the European Track Championships in Grenchen.

Boylan began day two of the Women’s Omnium in 16th place with three of the six races remaining and she moved up a place with a new national record in the 500m Time Trial, eclipsing the mark she set at the Revolution Event in Derby, England last month.

Her 36.628s effort shaved .147s off her previous best on her way to ninth and she topped that with eighth in the race five Flying Lap, her 14.589s helping her rise to 14th in the event ahead of the final Points Race.

In the sixth and final Omnium event Boylan was on the attack early on, taking points for third in the first two sprints of ten. She paid for her efforts by losing a lap but fought back to take points for second in another sprint. The net result was 16th overall and two top-ten finishes from the six races.

The final event of the week was the Women’s Elimination Race where Lauren Creamer was classified 13th.
