After 99 laps Kappa Kappa Gamma's first year rider Jessica Sapp and Teter's heralded star Bri Kovac were still locked, wheel to wheel, preparing for one last push for glory.
After 100 laps, Kappa had captured its fourth Little 500 title by less than a foot and Teter was left heartbroken after a monumental effort.
The field separated rather quickly as Kappa, Teter, Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Gamma Delta broke away from much of the field by the halfway point. By lap 80, only Kappa, Teter and Theta were left on the lead lap.
It all set the stage for one of the most exciting finishes in Little 500 history. Kovac took over on the bike with five laps to go, and Sapp hopped on with four. The first year sprinter, Sapp, battled to catch up with the fastest rider in Individual Time Trial history and eventually capture the victory for her team.
"The girls on my team were so encouraging, they knew I could do it," Sapp said. "The coaches set me up perfectly so that my body could do it and I just gave everything I had."
