Qualification runs for the 2022 Little 500 bicycle race were held on Saturday.

The temperature was around 38 F degrees with 16 mph winds out of the west and northwest, gusting to 28 mph. Those conditions meant the top times for the 4-lap trial were a lot slower than the [all-time records](https://iusf.indiana.edu/little500/results.html).

For the men, the record qualification run was made by the 1990 Phi Gamma Delta team team in 2:14.37\. For the women, the record is 2:33.308, set by the 2017 Delta Gamma squad.

According to the IU Student Foundation Twitter account, here’s how the top five times for the men and women break down:

**[Women’s Top 5 for Quals](https://twitter.com/IUSF/status/1507825272661364742)**

1. Kappa Alpha Theta 2:55.12
2. Alpha Chi Omega 2:56.84
3. Theta Phi Alpha 2:57.89
4. SKI 2:59.77
5. Kappa Kappa Gamma 3:01.40

**[Men’s Top 5 for Quals](https://twitter.com/IUSF/status/1507816907524689923)**

1. Phi Kappa Psi 2:30.94
2. Black Key Bulls 2:32.05
3. CUTTERS 2:33.71
4. Gray Goat 2:34.53
5. Sigma Phi Epsilon 2:34.69

For a qualification run, the first rider gets a one-lap flying start, and the clock starts as they cross the start-finish line after the first lap. At the end of each lap after that, a different rider takes over, either on the same bicycle as the incoming rider, or on a separate bicycle. That makes for a total of three exchanges. The rider exchange has to be completed inside a zone defined by a 16-foot buffer before and after the start-finish line.

The 34th running of the Women’s Little 500 takes place on April 22\. The 71st running of the Men’s Little 500 takes place on April 23\.
