After some solids efforts on the road, including a promising break in the road race, Richard Rainville was still eager to grab a medal from this year's 15-16 junior nationals. A trip to Trexlertown, PA for the junior national track championships saw him grab a 12th place in the points race and an 11th in the 8km scratch race. The persistance paid off, though, when he partnered with Alexander Riva to grab the bronze medal in the Madison, the last event of the 2012 junior track nationals.
