Zim cyclist signs for US college

Zimbabwean female cyclist Stacey Hyslop (pictured) enhanced her growing status as one of the country’s brightest prospects in the sport after being signed by North Carolina-based Lees-McRae College in the United States.

Lees-McRae College, which has over 60 student cyclists and a devoted cycling advisory council, is home to the 10-time US national championship cycling team.

Tim Hall, the director and head coach of cycling at Lees-McRae College, said Hyslop was a great addition to their programme, which provides students the opportunity to enhance their chosen field of study while also gaining knowledge in the art and science of the cycling industry.
