I posted a version of this early Monday morning - if that one ever comes
through, I apologize in advance for the spam.

ABRT's Jenny Bodine was racing in her George Washington colors on Sunday
when she captured the Stars and Stripes at the Collegiate National
Criterium.
From velonews: Led by Rebecca Jensen and defending champ Mara Abbott,
Whitman took control of the race early on. Along the slender,
tree-dotted roads of downtown Lawrence, Whitman stretched the peloton
and ruthlessly attacked along the one-mile, figure-eight course.
Coming into the final lap, George Washington's Jennifer Bodine latched
on to Abbott's wheel, and into the final turn of the race, a 90-degree
turn, Bodine made a sharp, attacking turn in front of her opponent.
Bodine made her kick and out-sprinted Abbott to the finish line.
"It was basically suicide or not," Bodine said.
There's a fantastic photo of her crossing the line on the ABRT website

CONGRATULATIONS, Jenny !!
