Little 500 Individual Time Trials
Indiana University, Indiana, March 31, 2004
T'was a dark and stormy night...
By Mark Zalewski
|
The series events leading up to the Little 500 at Indiana University have begun, including the Individual Time Trial, Team Time Trial and Miss-and-Out event. Wednesday evening saw the first event, the ITT, begin on a nice spring evening. However, that changed as sheets of rain and wind began to come down on the cinder track. More than half of the riders would have to race under these conditions, compared to the earlier times.
Riders are seeded into groups of four, though each would be racing against the clock. Each begins from a corner of the track and rides four laps.
A few particular groups were obviously stacked with the power riders. In an earlier group, Chris Vargo (Cutters) edged Matt Davis (Phi Gamma Delta) by less than a second. The Cutters team put six riders in the top twenty places of the ITT, showing the depth their team has.
Then the sky opened up and the puddles began to form. For the women's power group, it was a race against the elements as much as it was against the clock. Nicole Vincent (Kappa Alpha Theta) and Bri Kovac (Teter) were placed in the same group. Vincent had placed second in the match sprint to Rebecca McClintock at Collegiate Nationals in the fall, but Kovac has shown strong riding this spring. In the end, it was Kovac who was able to dodge the puddles, setting a track record of 2'35.31 along the way. Kovac's Teter teammate, Jessica Lindemann, finished second. The Teter women should be a good wheel to follow come race day.
The series continues on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. with the Miss-and-Out. Riders will be seeded into heats based upon their ITT times. The series concludes next Thursday with the Team Time Trial.

- Riders had to race under unique conditions on Wednesday evening. Normally the cinder track is sprayed with water to make it faster, but this is overkill.
- This rider makes the wise choice of going around the puddle.
- The rain lightens up just long enough for this Dodds House rider's ITT.
- Clear lens sunglasses were the style of choice.
- Teter's Bri Kovac explains that a mud/cinder facial treatment is great for the complexion. Oh yeah, and she also hammered out a track record.
- Another rider races against the clock in the ITT.
- Lindsey Vanatta (Delta Zeta) waits for the gun to sound.
