Black Key Bulls captures second consecutive Little 500 title

Black Key Bulls are Little 500 champions for the second-consecutive season. Following a lap 81 crash involving several contending teams, BKB and Sigma Alpha Epsilon capitalized on the opportunity and broke away from the pack. The two rivals collaborated on the track and coordinated exchanges in the pits to distance themselves from the field including a strong Cutters team. BKB made what ultimately became the winning move with 38 laps to go when Black Key Bulls rider Wiley Close and SAE’s Luke Naas headed towards their pits for another coordinated exchange. Suddenly, Close veered back onto the track and sprinted away from Naas. BKB never looked back en route to victory.

Drone views of IU vs. Purdue snow game

For the final home game of IU’s historic football season, I coordinated with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a snow-covered Memorial Stadium. This was IU’s first home night game of the season, presenting an interesting opportunity to capture the sold-out stadium after dark. The snowy weather at kickoff added another unique element to the photos. It’s not often that we have snow in Bloomington this early in the season, let alone for a football game. The game marked my third experience flying within a temporary flight restriction (TFR) after being granted a waiver from the FAA.
