There is a tradition to unofficially give said award to the first Men's racer(s) who are beaten by a girl at Series Events.
So without further pause-
Kristi Hewitt's new record made it tough for those dudes out there as she beat 101/165 riders. Thats 61% of the Mens field! However our lucky winner with a time of 2:34.08 is James Coudright of TMT! Hopefully for them it won't be the only award they win this year!
And our winner from Quals where Team Teter set another record?
Oh yes it was ZBT!!! Teter would have failed to make the Mens race by 0.14s! Beta were sooo close to winning something!
this is all in fun, please don't be offended

soo much hate
The way I see it Hewitt trained harder than 101 riders, men or women. I don't know her but if I did, I would congratulate her not for beating the men but for training hard and riding well.
I find it a bit improper of us modern men to loath being 'beaten by a girl.' Come on guys (and the Bloomington cycling community) let's stop hiding behind repressive stereotypes and encourage our female counterparts to ride hard and cast visions way beyond 'beating the men'
So, in that spirit, Hewwitt, keep kicking ass and taking names. It is about time some women rose up and challenged us men to train even halfway as hard as we talk. Nice work.
See you on the road.
