NOT JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD: DAKOTA SENGER
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
DAKOTA SENGER TO GET SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SPOTLIGHT
Two-consecutive NAG No.1 title holder DAKOTA SENGER (Oregon) will be highlighted in next weeks’ edition of Sports Illustrated – in their traditional FACES IN THE CROWD section. After having a stellar year in 2007 – with a NAG No.1 title and UCi World Championship, Dakota’s chance to defend it in 2008 blew up when a slip of the pedals while doing sprints busted up his ankle really bad. But he didn’t let it ruin his year, and wound up returning in July to begin a late-year charge back to the top of ABA age group standings.
Thanks to a whole lot of consistency and a Grands victory in 12x, Dakota was able to defend his No.1 plate and end the year on a high note.

DAKOTA SENGER’S BIG BREAK

Eugene, ORRedline's robotic manualer DAKOTA SENGER has always dreamed of following in the footsteps of his Pro teammate Bubba Harris; but this is taking it a bit too far. While training for the Great Northwest Nationals in his homestate, Senger crashed hard during sprints and wound up busting up his ankle pretty hard. Wait -- make that VERY hard.

 

 Last year, 12 year old Dakota won the UCI World Championships in Victoria (on Cruiser), and ended the season with an ABA Nag No.1 title; finally putting his name and titles on the Redline trailers "Door of Champions: 

 

With plans already made for a trip to China, to defend his Worlds Cruiser title and 1-up his 2nd place in 20", word had it that Dakota was flyin' faster than ever at the local practice. His new training program was payin' off, up until his wreck.

 

The break required 8 small screws one plate and 1 large screw. All titanium; of course!

 

Unfortunately, this injury will end his plans for a repeat in China this May. But watching from the sidelines at the Bend, Oregon national, Senger was already making plans for his big comeback.

 

"If Bubba can do it, so can I."

 

Expect to see him back on the track, for a late season charge!

Redline wishes him a speed - yet safe, recovery.
