Phi Psi Cycling

Phi Psi Cycling Keeping you informed with the latest from the Phi Psi Cycling Team at Indiana University. Make sure Academic excellence is as important to us as athletics.

Phi Psi has played a tremendous role in "The World's Greatest College Weekend". The history of Phi Psi in the Little 500 began in 1951 with the first race! Phi Psi has helped the Little 500 has become famous by Brother Steve Tesich (1942-1996), writer of the 1979 Academy Award winning film "Breaking Away". Tesich had been an alternate rider in 1962 for Phi Psi and his teammate David Blase rode to

victory and subsequently made the model for the main character in the award-winning film. The Indiana University chapter of Phi Kappa Psi (Indiana Beta) was founded on May 15, 1869. Since that time, "Phi Psi" has enjoyed its status as one of the most prominent fraternity chapters on campus. Our chapter is also the largest in the country, with over 3,000 members initiated. In addition to our Little 500 performances, our fraternity's athletic prowess is also evidenced by many alumni who have excelled in sports beyond college, including 7-time Olympic Gold medal winner, Mark Spitz. Our chapter has produced more Rhodes Scholars than any other fraternity chapter at Indiana University and more than any other single chapter of the national Fraternity. Our cycling team especially embodies this drive for academic performance. Alumni have excelled in business, medical, and research positions across the globe and give generously annually in academic-based scholarships.

Well, the good news is that we are in the race! The bad news is that it was a very stressful day of Quals! We came in 27th position- on our 3rd attempt!! Our time was 2:37.6. We were flying on our first attempt but got flagged for an early touch on our 3rd exchange. We will just say that it was very, very close and should not have been called. We then proceeded to wreck on our 2nd attempt. The 3rd attempt was a slooww roll going all bike to bike exchanges. As we were one of the first teams out in the morning, we were pushed to the end of the day. The team should be given huge props for sitting on that pressure for 7 hours!! And they handled the 3rd go like pros. Reminder - Phi Psi has qualified for 69 of 70 races! These guys were not going to be denied! Now on to bigger and better things! The spring series and Little 500! Live Ever Die Never!!

The boys are back!! Meet your 2025 Phi Psi Bike Team. L-R: Nick Tschetter (SR), Albert Schafer (SR), Hunter Jones (JR) Parker Etnyre (FR). Not shown - Charlie Fisher. The team just concluded a hard working spring break in BTown. Two a days with the track and on the road, plus the myriad of torturous workouts from Coach Dan Gaz! With three returning riders the team is focused on improving on last years 9th place finish- and cracking the top 5 (at least!). We are once again represented by a tremendous group of young men, who are incredibly committed and dedicated. Quals are coming up next Saturday (March 29) and the race is Saturday April 26. As always we hope to see some representation in the stands from our many alumni and friends. We will start upping the communications leading into the race, spring series events, etc. Let's Go Phi Psi!!
