World Record for cyclist Tom Cornish

NSWIS Cyclist Thomas Cornish has completed his Junior World Championships campaign with two medals and a Junior World Record.

After waiting until the fourth day of competition to compete in Aigle, Switzerland the NSW Institute of Sport Scholarship Holder took out silver in the Men’s Sprint event.

Backing up on the final day in the 1km Time Trial, Cornish rode a 1:00.489 to not only take out the Junior World Championship title but also to break the Junior World Record.

NSWIS Cycling Performance Manager Brad McGee is impressed with Cornish’s development.

“It’s an absolutely outstanding performance from Tom and a continuance of his constant growth and development over many years” he said.

“I’d like to congratulate Jenny Triggs who has been Tom’s long-term coach. Jenny has been world class and courageous in her coaching of Tom and this result is proof of that.”
