NSC Velodrome cyclist Peter Moore named to USA Junior World Championship team

One of seven athletes selected to represent the USA, Moore will compete in the International Omnium, a four-race event. He qualified for Junior Worlds in July at USA Cycling’s Junior Track Nationals in Los Angeles, where he won gold in the International Omnium, silver in the Individual Pursuit, and bronze in the Madison and Team Pursuit. This will be Moore’s second appearance at Junior Worlds. In 2018 he competed in the Madison in Aigle, Switzerland, placing 7th.

Moore began his cycling career at the National Sports Center Velodrome when he was eight years old as part of the Velo Kids program. He progressed quickly up the ranks and began racing in the men’s fields at age eleven. Now a seven-time junior national champion, and many time men’s state champion, he is the dominant cyclist at the track.
