Speaking on her victory, she said: 'I am feeling very overwhelmed, it is so exciting and it really couldn't have gone any better for me today. I was lucky that there were a lot of seconds up for grabs.
"The plan was to get as many seconds as I could, and unfortunately, Cat was on my wheel for every single one, so it really came down to the last sprint.
'The team were so amazing today, I really couldn't have done it without them. I'm just so grateful for the work that they did. I couldn't be happier in this team, so I am very grateful for the support I have received over the last four days.
'Mum and Dad will be a bit shocked, I imagine. I called them last night and said that the plan was to go for all three bonus sprints, and I said Cat will probably be thinking the same thing! I think they will be super proud back home.'

Missouri Tigers Crack Top 25 of ESPN's Power Index Rankings

Missouri Tigers Crack Top 25 of ESPN's Power Index Rankings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In recent rankings from various analysts, the Missouri Tigers have been left out of the top 25. In ESPN's recent Football Power Index (FPI) rankings, however, Mizzou made the cut. Advertisement The FPI estimates each FBS team's strengths on all three sides of the ball, and it takes into account all roster movements during the offseason. Those strength projections are then run through a simulation of the team's upcoming schedule 20,000 times to calculate average projections for their success throughout the season. Missouri ranks No. 23 for projected strength, and they've been given a projected win-loss total of 6.9-5.2. As has been the trend in recent seasons, the defense has continued to turn heads. The Tigers' defense is ranked No. 17 in the country with an FPI score of 6.2. Mizzou is also projected to compete in one of the "most anticipated" games of the season, based on ESPN's game quality analytics that gauge both team's FPI scores. Advertisement In Week 7, the Tigers will host Alabama, ranking No. 23 out of the top 25 matchups of the season. The game earned an 89.2 rating, and it'll mark the first time since 2020 that Mizzou has hosted the Crimson Tide. Of the 16 schools in the Southeastern Conference, 13 of them ranked within ESPN's top 25 with Texas, Georgia and Alabama taking No. 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The simulations projected an average of 4.6 teams from the SEC will make the College Football Playoff, and Missouri made the Playoff in 9.2 percent of the simulations. Missouri Tigers mascot Truman dances on the sideline against the Iowa Hawkeyes during the second half at Nissan Roberts-Imagn Images As the FPI rankings show, the Tigers' defense has a real shot at being one of the best units in the country, but there's less confidence on the other side of the ball. Especially with new starters at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and three offensive line spots. Advertisement Regardless, summer has arrived and the 2025 season is right around the corner. Missouri's motto of having 'something to prove' will need to hold up.

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua to discuss college athletics with President Trump

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua to discuss college athletics with President Trump Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey are reportedly meeting with President Donald Trump Sunday to discuss the future of college athletics. According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports, Bevacqua and Sankey are traveling to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster to have a round with the 47th President, who is interested in discussing the college sports industry's future while on the course. This reported meeting comes at a time when the state of college athletics has never been more in flux. The House vs. NCAA settlement was finally finalized this past Friday evening, clearing a path for future revenue-sharing payments to be made directly to student-athletes for the very first time, further professionalizing college athletics. It allows for the establishment of an NIL Go Clearinghouse, which would have to approve NIL payments of more than $600 to student-athletes beginning this summer. Trump's interest in college athletics is nothing new. Previously he was working on a college sports commission that reportedly was going to be co-chaired by former Alabama head coach Nick Saban. Certainly there is never a dull day in the business of college athletics.
