Yale Police Department Patrol Officer Adam Marong has been a CCNS athlete for nearly a year. He finished off the 2019 season strong, and he continued to make significant progress through offseason training. He was able to race twice at the Frozen Four criteriums in Plainville before the COVID-19 crisis started.

CCNS athlete and Long Island resident Chris Schwenker is a true Zwift aficionado. An elite rider on the DIRT (Dads Inside Riding Trainers) team, Chris has logged thousands of miles and completed hundreds of intervals on the trainer.
