Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you your national champion. Griffin Easter ran an amazing race under the lights to take home the nationals jersey in one of the most hotly contested races yet. During the course of his race, Griffin lapped the entire field and captured points in every single sprint lap.

The FLC women also put forth a strong effort under the lights, ending with a spectacular showdown as Sarah Sturm outsprinted the pack to cross the finish line first.
