Newcomers fill rows 3 and 4

By Dan Patrick · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:29 p.m.

Rows three and four of this year's race all have a grounded mentality, a sort of "give it your best shot" look at things. Most teams within these two rows are also relatively inexperienced. Within the rows, Delta Gamma is bringing the most know how.

By Gavin Lesnick · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:28 p.m.

The front row of the 2002 women's Little 500 is no surprise to enthusiasts of the race. Since 1994, only Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta and the Roadrunners, last year's victors, have won the event.

By Aaron Hunckler · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:21 p.m.

There is only one other team in the 52-year history of the running of the Little 500 who has garnered more victories than the Cutters six -- Delta Chi with eight -- but Cutter history has its roots buried in Delta Chi.

Dodds House to race 50th Little 500

By Colin Nowling · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:19 p.m.

The Dodds House Little 500 team has perennially been the best residence hall team in the men's race, including a race victory in 1998. But its run of seven straight top 10 finishes was snapped last year when the team finished in 11th, after qualifying ninth.

Commuting makes it tough

By Katie Schoenbaechler · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:13 p.m.

Training for Little 500 can be a hard task for any rider, but living nearly 200 miles away from your team can pose problems that even the best teams would have trouble with.

Greeks go independent

By Rachel Kipp · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:12 p.m.

This fall the riders of Pi Kappa Alpha's Little 500 team planned ahead. By last semester, senior rider Timothy Kolar said they had already made preparations for a spring break training trip, among other things. But in the course of about a month, the chapter was disbanded for alcohol violations and the team's plans were suddenly very much up in the air.

By Tyler Hoeppner · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:07 p.m.

Injuries, experience define rows

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:03 p.m.

Taking a spot in the third and fourth rows of the men's field doesn't count any team out of a winning position. Each team qualified within tenths of seconds of one another and despite injuries on two teams, working their way to the top is the main goal.

Hope for success

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:02 p.m.

The men's second row of the racing field is anything but second best. Returning residence hall team -- Teter -- and independent teams -- Corleone and Achtung -- are trying to prove you don't have to be Greek to succeed in the race.

Different stories make up Row 1

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Wednesday, April 17,2002 12:01 p.m.

The top three contenders for the men's Little 500 race couldn't be more diverse. One team has the 2001 title under its belt. The next team is returning all four riders from last year's team, and the third team has no Little 500 experience to speak of but is tough enough to hold its own in the race.

By Gavin Lesnick · Wednesday, April 17,2002 11:59 a.m.

In 1987, four Kappa Alpha Theta riders enrolled in qualifications for the Little 500 -- an all male race at the time. The squad wasn't trying to make a statement as much as it was looking for an outlet for its love of cycling.

Hoosiers pummel IUPUI

By Gavin Lesnick · Wednesday, April 17,2002 1:17 a.m.

Everything went in order for the Hoosiers in the fourth inning of yesterday's 9-0 win over IU-Purdue University at Indianapolis. In the top of the frame, starting pitcher Allison Cooke had her only 1-2-3 inning of the day. In the bottom half, the team led off with three straight hits -- a single, a double and a triple. The triple, off the bat of junior third baseman Heather Suca, sent teammates Annika Ochoa and Brooke Monroe home for a 7-0 lead. IU added two more runs in the inning on a sacrifice fly by junior catcher Stormy Hanson and a bases-loaded single by junior center fielder Katie Joy for a nine-run advantage.
