Se·rious rae·ats from· "all over
converge on IC for Criterium

The Daily Iowan
The pedaling should be fast and furious
when the 14th Annual Old Capitol
Criterium Road Race begins Sunday, 88
some of the top racers in the area will
vie for the championship in three m~or
categories.
Racing teams from bordering states will
bring their aerodynamic racing suits,
shaved legs and disced wheels to join
several local teams and independent
racers to compete in the Iowa City road
race. And cyclists in each of the three
main categories, the Men's Junior,
Senior and Master divisions, have raced
to some impressive showings in other
prominent races.
Jeff Boldt, who last year finished first
in the race's premier divi ion, the
Senior Men's 1 and 2 category, will
retum to defend his title. Boldt ra
for the First Wisconsin Team out of
Oshkosh, Wis., but lives in Davenport.
Boldt should face some stiff competition
at the Criterium, headed by Lowell
Kellogg, an Iowa City native and member
of the Wisconsin-baaed Vic Tanny
team. In 1990, Kellogg won the Overall
Tour de France and the Iowa Gamet
road race and criterium. He will be
joined by fellow Vic Tanny m rober,
Merek Kotrly, who has placed high in
several national road races.
Another cyclist who figures to pia
high is Mark Parman, who a180 lives in
Iowa City and is also a member of th
First Wisconsin Team. Parman began
racing in 1983 and achieved the top
racing division, Category 1, three Jfl'I
later. This will be Parman's sixth tiIj
Capitol Criterium, and he finished thiri
in the main division. After BeVen yem
