Jess Cygan began her cycling career after competing in Division I cross-country and track at the College of William & Mary. Following a break from competitive running, Jess took up cycling on the road and gravel and hasn’t looked back. Recent highlights include a 1st at Steamboat Gravel Blue and 3rd at Unbound 100 in 2021 and 4th place at the Boulder Roubaix Road Race in 2022.
Jess had been focusing more on road racing with a goal of earning a spot on a pro road team when USA Cycling’s development director recommended her to the Cynisca Cycling team.
