Calvin Grad Picks Up Speed on Pro Cycling Circuit
SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Brad White, a 2005 Calvin College graduate, is making an impressive mark on the professional bicycling circuit. On Wednesday, White earned the 2009 Tour of Utah's King of the Mountains jersey after an impressive climb through the mountains on the first stage of the five-day, five-stage race. In 2008, his attacking style earned him the Tour of Utah's sprinter jersey.
After two stages of the 2009 race, White is currently in 29th place overall. To follow the Tour of Utah, please visit the race web site at: http://www.tourofutah.com/
