Whitman College - jock school??

With a win in Sunday’s criterium at the 2006 USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships, Mara Abbott pulled on her third stars and stripes jersey and slung a third gold medal around her neck – a result that led to both an overall individual title and a Division II team title for Whitman College.</p>

<p>Abbott’s domination of the women’s Division II field began by contributing to a victory for Whitman College in the team time trial on Friday, continued with a win in the 56-mile road race on Saturday, and concluded with a first-place effort in Sunday’s 55-minute criterium as she outsprinted DePauw University’s Jenna Boyd.
