Yes I remember racing against Gavin as a Junior and I even beat him
once ( and probably only once)

For women I would suggest

Heidi Hopkins - placed 5th in the Women's World Championships once

Cindy Olavarri

Inga Thompson - qualified for the 84 Olympic team in her first year of
racing.

Karen Kurreck - Winner of the first World TT championship for women


for Track

Jeff Solt - Beat Marty N. for the Track Sprint championship and made
the world track team a few years.

For Cross

L. Malone, Natwick, Rachel Lloyd, Gina Hall, and a few others I can't
think of now.
