Little 500

Cutters sprint to 15th Little 500 championship

Cutters outsprinted Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon to capture their 15th Little 500 championship. Earlier in the day, the photo finish was not guaranteed. At lap 70, Sigma Phi Epsilon broke away, amassing more than a 20-second lead on the field. Cutters steadily reeled in Sigma Phi Epsilon, eventually retaking the lead on lap 148 and pedaling to victory. Delta Tau Delta and Chi Alpha overcame a late crash to finish second and fourth. After being a lap down at one point, Phi Kappa Psi regained their lap and finished the race among leaders for the final lap sprint. Phi Kappa Psi finished fifth.

Melanzana repeats as champions at 35th Women’s Little 500

A year removed from a dominating performance in the 2022 Little 500, Melanzana became repeat champions during the 35th running. Following a one-hour rain delay, Melanzana started the race again from the 13th position, but made a quick move to the front within the opening 10 laps. Teter broke away from the field around lap 46 and built a 17-second lead. A group of teams including Melanzana, Delta Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega eventually gained on Teter. Melanzana, emblazoned with the vibrant yellow jersey reserved for the defending champion team, separated from the leading pack after a series of late-race exchanges and never looked back. Teter finished second, followed by Alpha Chi Omega in third.
