Jennie Reed placed fifth in the womenandrsquo;s keirin on Sunday to give the U.S. Cycling Team its best finish on the closing day of the 2007 UCI Track World Championships, while recent womenandrsquo;s pursuit champion Sarah Hammer placed 14th in the 25-kilometer points race. Reed sailed through her first two qualifying heats to earn a spot in the six-woman final, but was at a disadvantage after drawing the sixth seed in an all-star pool of womenandrsquo;s sprinters. The U.S. finished the world championships tied for fifth in the medal count.
