COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College cycling coach David Grigsby announced the signing of Ethan Quehl for the 2010-11 season on Tuesday. The decorated Quehl is a native of Grayson, Ga.

Grigsby is excited to add a national-championship caliber cyclist like Quehl to his roster.

"Ethan is a really talented rider and will be a threat for the collegiate national championship in the downhill category this fall," said Grigsby.

Quehl took top honors in the 2008 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in the downhill expert division and finished 15th at the U.S. Open in the pro category. The Georgia native placed 12th at the Pan American Championships, also in the pro category.
