It was another beautiful day for Sweepstakes this morning. The temperatures were low, but anticipation was high, while many onlookers watched the six exhibition heats that gave the opportunity for other members of the buggy organizations to get involved in a complete run through of the course. This exhibition gave the spectators something to hold them over until the start of the final heats which were set to start around 9:00 a.m. with the first women's heat placing Kappa Delta Rho A against Sigma Phi Epsilon A. In the end, Fringe A won the women's finals with an amazing run on Hill 5 and a time of 2:37.91. A failed drop test for Pi Kappa Alpha A allowed KDR A to receive second place honors with a time of 2:39.75.

The men's finals were next, and with excitement at its highest levels, the usual contenders dominated the competition. PiKA A rolled their buggy, Zeus, to victory for the fourth straight year with a time of 2:07.47. The buggy from Fringe A, Blizzard, which won top honors in the Design Competition, was rolled to a second place finish with a time of 2:10.17. Not too far behind this year was a very competitive Student Dormitory Council A buggy which performed very well for the organization this year. KDR A set a house record during Friday's preliminary heats, only to break that record this morning for the Finals, allowing KDR A to finish in fourth place with a time of 2:11.37.
