Canadian Olympic team members Scott Erwood of Surrey, B.C., and Samantha Cools of Airdrie, Alta., were crowned the men’s and women’s champions on Sunday at the BMX cycling nationals.

 The competition also determined a selection pool for the senior and junior teams for the BMX world championships scheduled for July 23-26 in Adelaide, Australia. Canada can field three men and three women in senior competition at the worlds and two men and one woman in the junior category.



In the Elite men’s final, defending national champion Scott “Big Easy” Erwood from BC prevailed over Patrick Lebel of Alberta and Ontario’s Randall Neave. “The track was in really good shape after all the rain on Saturday,” said Erwood, who reached the quarterfinals at the Olympics and is eyeing a berth in the semis at the Worlds. “I capitalized on a good starting position and had an awesome race. Winning the nationals was one of my big goals this season.”
