1st place 15:59 new track record 5 for 5/closest alumni finish
ever Closest finish in an
alumni race -- Tom pulled ahead of Hanszen's Chris Madland
on the final turn. Plus, our cocky chuggers decided to
double chug! Bad wind on backstretch. See photo of

1st place 14:50 new track record 7 for 7 WRC came out of the pits
towards the back (there was no official countdown, so Sarah
started late), and Craig steadily pulled up through the pack
and passed Lovett leadoff Chris Kreidler '87 on the
backstretch of the 2nd lap to pull us into first. Ruth got
passed by 3 guys, although she rode a fast, evenly paced
ride. Rob pulled us back into second, and Bekra pulled us
into first. Ted, Jen and Sean all rode quick laps to
lengthen WRC's lead to almost a half lap. Eric's back tire
"fell off" coming out of the pit and alternate Randall was
sent out after a bit of hesitation, since the coordinator
didn't immediately see the problem. Randall managed to gain
back some of the ground we had lost to Hanszen and Jones.
Tom grabbed and held on the second place, and Chris Frey
pulled ahead of Hanszen's anchor. Hanszen, Jones and Lovett
finished second, third and fourth, respectively. There were
no penalties on WRC. Our final time broke our own track
record. See photo of
Jen and the pit crew.

1st place Rob passed at least two
people to put us into second place, leading the way for me
to pass the Lovett rider and pull us into first place. No
one challenged us after that. See photos of Sean

1st place 15:53 5 for 5/14th title Craig came out towards
the back of the pack and steadily moved up, sitting behind
the lead rider (Baker) for most of the second lap and then
pulling ahead. We never lost the lead after that and handily
passed everyone by the 7th rider. Brown tried to claim that
they won, but one of their riders only rode one lap.
