Local Olympian Jennie Reed will be at Redmond’s Velodrome at Marymoor Park to celebrate her homecoming.

On Friday Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. the silver-medalist will sign autographs, take pictures and answer questions with fans.

Her welcome home event is supported by LifeWise Health Plan of Washington and the Velodrome. The $5 entry cost will raise money for the Velodrome’s Youth Cycling Program.

Reed was introduced to the track cycling program at 16 and participated in her first Junior National Championships that same year.

Since then, she’s spent the last 12 years racing as part of the National team as well as representing the U.S. in the last three Olympics.

In addition to her silver medal this summer at the London Olympics, she has won U.S. Female Cycling Athlete of the year in 1998 and 2011, 14 National Champion titles, a 2008 World Champion in the Women’s Keirin and 24 International Track Cycling medals.
