Little 500 Preview (Women + Men): Favorites, Weather, and What to Watch (with Zach Browning & Nick Rodecap)
About this episode
Galen Clavio previews the Little 500 races with insights from student broadcasters Zach Browning and Nick Rodecap.
Galen Clavio previews the Little 500 races from Bill Armstrong Stadium as Bloomington gears up for the biggest weekend of the year — including the 75th running of the men’s race . Galen is joined by two senior IU student broadcasters who will be on the call this weekend: Zach Browning (women’s race play-by-play) and Nick Rodecap (men’s race play-by-play). Zach breaks down the women’s field, starting with Theta on the pole and the chase group behind them (including Teter , Alpha Chi Omega , Delta Gamma , Melanzana , CSF , and more), plus how weather could affect race-day strategy. Then Nick previews a loaded men’s race, headlined by Cutters ’ dominant spring series and Black Key Bulls ’ quest for a three-peat — with SAE , Fiji , Sig Ep , and a deep group of contenders ready to make it a chess match over 200 laps.
