The First Chris Cross

Just a little history of the Chris Cross event. Gerard Arantowicz of the Cow Town Cycling Team and founder of Jewel Cartoons, started this event back in 2001. Gerard was one of the few cyclocross promoters back then and has been promoting event since he moved here from Pennsylvania

Over the next 8 years the event was held at Clinton Lake State Park. A super fun courses (if you like gravel like me:-)) in and around campground #1. After a short hiatus, in 2006 the Chris Cross event was back in full swing as part of the Cow Town Cyclocross Series, which is now the De Stad Cyclocross Van Kansas Series.

This year the event moves to the University of Saint Mary to start a new tradition.

Here are the results from the first event. You may recognize a few of the names.
