Cuban cyclist's successes continue in the United States

Havana, June 15 (ACN)-- After podiums earlier this month in the Clarendon Cup and the Crystal Cup, Cuban Marlies Mejías took second place in the Tulsa Tough - McElroy River Park Criterium 2022, her most recent race in the United States.

Mejías, a member of Team Cuba and the U.S. club Twenty24 Pro Cycling, clocked 55:37 minutes in the lightning-fast classic, according to the official results page of the event.

In a very close finish, the Artemisian was only surpassed by Skylar Schneider (55:36) of the L39ION of Los Angeles, while Alexis Ryan (55:37), of the Los Angeles team, won the bronze.

Twenty24 Pro Cycling in the last hours congratulated on its Facebook page the West Indian and highlighted "What a wild months for this Cuban athlete!"

Mejias was also runner-up at the Clarendon Cup on June 5, after finishing third a day earlier at the Crystal Cup.

The Cuban, who won the Clarendon Cup in 2017, won the scepter at the end of last November in the Tour de Tucson, in her debut in the iconic race, disputed in its 38th edition along 102 miles, with six thousand 715 competitors in different age categories and distances through the Californian city of Tucson and the five adjacent mountain ranges.

For Cuba, Mejías obtained the place for the Central American and Caribbean Games of San Salvador 2023 in the individual time trial, a place she won last May 12 at the Pan American Road Championship in Argentina.

Recently incorporated to active sport after becoming a mother, Mejías was Pan American champion in August 2021 in the time trial at the continental road cycling championship in the Dominican Republic.
