Probably the Junior racer with the most State Championships on record. Alex has won the Michigan Road Race Championships for his age category for the past 7 years! 2005 was no exception, with Alex again winning the Junior 17-18 Michigan Championship Road Race at the 6th Street circuit in Kalamazoo on September 10th. Watch for Alex to be at the front of races again in 2006.
