three laps per rider. However,
this did not dampen the spirits
of the SRC members who
cheered wildly as the
announcer, unaware of the
two missing laps,
declared SRC the third
place winner.
When the
mistake was later
recognized and WRC
declared in third
place, SRC
persistently
chanted rounds of
"Three, three,
three."

Women's Race
rown
dominated
the
women's
race, finishing before
second place Jones
by 10.6 seconds.
Even with a 5-
second pit penalty,
they finished with a
final margin of 5.6
seconds. The final
time, 16:24.71, was
short of a track
record.
Kristen Evens,
Brown's tenth rider,
missed the women's
individual track
record by a mere
second.
Hanszen finished
over five seconds
behind Jones, but held
: third place by a margin
of more than ten
seconds.
Brown's celebration
primarily took place the
■ next evening at
Bacchanalia, where many
bragged, "Brown's got the
fastest women on campus."
Jones junior Rachel
Decker, a bike team co-
captain and iron-woman,
commented, "I wasn't
completely surprised Brown
won—we knew in advance
that their team was strong.
"The fact that a lot of
our team was new had an
effect; we expect to do better
next year as most of our
riders are returning," she
said.
"We knew we were in
the top four teams, but of
course we're thrilled," said
Brown senior Amy Henninger,
the bike team co-captain.
"This is the first time that
Brown has won in several
years. I think this definitely
proves that Brown is a strong
contender in sports events,"
she said.
After the competition,
several members or Brown and
Jones took a swim in President
George Rupp's swimming
pool amid shouts of "The Far
Side rules!"
Alumni Race
H Hanszen came in
first in the Alumni
Race, with a time of
16:21.14, ahead of
SRC's team, which included
undergraduates, by almost 20
seconds.
"Attendance was much better
than we anticipated," said
Audrey Chang, Beer-Bike co-
coordinator.
"Originally, we were going
to cancel the alumni race.
However, there were enough
complaints that we held the
event, even though not all the
teams participated," Chang
said. '•
"There were enough alumni
from Hanszen, Sid, and the
GSA, and Lovett joined with
Baker to form a unified team,"
she said.
The composite Lovett/
Baker team took third with a
time of 18:45.99 and the
GSA, which had each of its
riders take one lap apiece,
finished with a time of
18:29.00.
"We didn't run the
[alumni] race as a
competition," said Amy
Keener, Beer-Bike co-
coordinator. In spite of some
alumni antics, "we didn't want
to disqualify anyone for
having fun," she added.
