The COS Racing Track Squad delivered an electrifying performance at the 2025 Rocky Mountain State Games/Colorado State Track Championships, breaking records and earning a slew of medals. Our local riders showcased their talent and determination, setting the stage for an exciting run at the upcoming US Masters National Track Championships.
Leading the charge was 74-year-old Charlotte Miller, a former Master's World and multiple-time US National Champion. Miller shattered her own World Record in the Flying 200m Time Trial, posting an astonishing 13.681 seconds, proving age is no barrier to greatness.
In the women’s events, rising star Andrea Villaroman blazed to a US National Record in the 1000m Time Trial with a time of 1:12.135, clinching the Rocky Mountain State Games/Colorado State Championship Gold Medal. Hot on her heels was COS Racing teammate and 2024 Colorado State Champion Nao Nozawa, who earned the Silver Medal with a time just shy of the previous record.

Due to a mechanical failure of the electronic starting gate during the competition, neither Miller's nor Villaroman's records were eligible for the record books, but they demonstrate that these ladies are ready to set them again at August's Championships.
Villaroman and Nozawa joined forces with Melissa Landworthy—competing together for the first time—to secure the Silver Medal in the Team Sprint. They faced stiff competition from the powerhouse Atomic Racing trio of World and US National Champions Wagner, Jones-Martin, and Viselli, who smashed the US National Record by over two seconds.

On the men’s side, 39-time state cycling champion Terry Lott claimed the Silver Medal in the Master’s Men’s 40+ 500m Time Trial, finishing behind former Master’s World Champion Kenneth Todd. Club member Steve Vela rallied to a 4th place finish in that deep field. Lott also teamed up with COS Racing’s Stephen Anderson and Brian Neiport—another first-time trio—to take a respectable 4th place in the Men’s Team Sprint.
