"I looked at the board and was like what the hell?": Cameron breaks 12-year-old U19 individual pursuit National Record

AOC3 years ago

For 12 years in the under-19 men's track cycling 3000m individual pursuit, Dale Parker's National Record stood untouched. Then along came Cameron Rogers.

The 17-year-old Canberran added another accomplishment to his rapidly expanding list of statement performances at the recent 2022 Oceania Track Cycling Championships in Brisbane, breaking Dale’s 2010 time of 3:13.958 set at Adelaide Super-Drome with a scorching 3:13.271 in qualifying.

The record-breaking ride was one not on the radar at the Oceania Champs, mainly due to Cameron racing a small bunch race-specific program at the 2022 AusCycling Track National Championships just days earlier.
