Masters track nats shifted from Indianapolis to Colorado

Colorado Velodrome Association spokesman Pat McDonough said his organization was “thrilled” to be hosting masters nationals. "As North America's fastest velodrome, we are excited for the opportunity to see many new world records broken here,” he said.
