 Lee Barczewski, veteran road and track competitor. Originally a speed skater from West Alice, Wisconsin, Lee Barczewski began bicycle racing when he was 14 years old. He placed fourth at the 1973 World Junior Championships in the match sprint and also finished fourth at the U.S. Championships in 1974. In 1976, Lee won the U.S. Olympic Trials in Northbrook, Illinois and later competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games in the 1,000-meter match sprint. In many of Lee's races, his strongest cycling competition came from his brother, Lass. Racing in the tandem sprints, Lee represented the U.S. in two World Championships along with driver Jerry Ash. In the Munich 1978 World Championships, after a controversial crash caused by another team, Ash was injured and the tandem team finished with a silver medal unable to continue competing for the gold. Lee also won four consecutive national championships on the track in the match sprints and was a fierce competitor in the kilometer time trials. In May 1980, Lee and Dave Grillis pedaled an aerodynamic tandem tricycle to a world record of 62.9 miles per hour at the Ontario Speedway in California. When his competitive goals were impacted by the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, Barczewski retired in 1980 at the age of 24. Lee has worked as a director of the Velodrome known as Trexler Town in Pennsylvania. National Champion, Olympian and International Racer, Lee Barczewski has now become a veteran U.S. Bicycling Hall of Famer in road and track.
