A collegiate team, the Flying Flashes from Kent State University, won the 45th Air Race Classic. The top 10 winners—along with those for a long list of other prizes—were announced at a banquet at the race terminus in Terre Haute, Indiana, last night. Laura Wilson and Alex Johnson flew as Team 52 in a 2020 Cessna Skyhawk 172SP.
The team also secured the top collegiate award, the Collegiate Challenge Trophy, with the top 10 rounded out with a full field of great competitors. A collegiate team also won last year’s virtual race—Team 49, Emma Hughes, Emily Hause, and Regine Rose Acosta from Western Michigan University.
