The course was tremendously challenging, featuring a couple kicker hills and a sweeping fast descent. The racing started around noon when women Sarah Cullen and Emma-Kate in the women\u2019s B\/C field. The field quickly shredded itself, but the Irish women held steady for two great results, a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> for Sarah, and 6<sup>th<\/sup> for Emma-Kate. The next event of the day for the Irish featured Josh Corcoran in the men\u2019s C field. As in the previous races, the field was dismantled by the hills. Josh proved to hold steady, though, for a very well earned 10<sup>th<\/sup> place finish. The final event of the day was the Men\u2019s A race. Jim Snitzer, Luke Tilmans, and John Pratt took the line against some of the top riders in the Midwest, themselves included. Despite the hills, not many riders were shelled from this field. Eventually, though, after a couple of attacks, several riders were able to get up the road. Snitzer and Tilmans found themselves finish 10<sup>th<\/sup> and 11<sup>th<\/sup>, respectively, in the second break. Pratt finished 24<sup>th<\/sup>. It was a great day for all Notre Dame cyclists. A special shout out goes to the Corcoran family for graciously hosting us. It was an exhilarating weekend of sunshine, chain grease, sweat that revolved around a barrage of great efforts by all of the riders.<\/p>\n<p>Next weekend, MWCCC action comes to South Bend for the annual Notre Dame Collegiate Cycling Classic!
