CQU Health and Human Performance industry liaison officer Alex Bright has recently returned from Wanganui, New Zealand, where she represented Australia at the Oceania Track Cycling Championships. Alex won two Bronze medals (for the 500 Time Trial and Keirin). "I've learnt heaps and gained valuable experience in racing at the international and elite level," she said.

"Since returning, I am now preparing for the Queensland State Championships which will be held at Chandler, Brisbane from March 15 - 21. This is an Important competition as I need to qualify for National Championships at Dunc Gray Velodrome in Sydney from April 27 to May 2.

"Following the Queensland States I will be competing in the NSW State Championships from March 26 - 28 in order to get more experience on the board track in Sydney and basically have a practice run in the lead up to the Nationals." Alex hopes to be selected in the Queensland team at the State Titles and is aiming to medal in an individual event at the Nationals. She is also aiming to ride 11.8 seconds for the Flying 200m and break 37 seconds for the 500m Time Trial.
