After five Town Challenge races, Gwen Ramsey finished as the fastest overall racer this year, winning the Rob Walmer Fastest Man on the Mountain award.Â
Ramsey is the first woman to win the Rob Walmer âfastest manâ award in its 23-year history. Ramsey, whoâs 16, is also the first teenager to win the honor.
âRight on, finally a chick beat all of the guys,â said Gail Binder, a friend of Walmerâs. âIt must be humbling for them. If Rob was around and he got beat by a girl, heâd be like, âshe gets it.ââ
Ramsey, who also races for the Lake County Panthers, won two town challenges, finished second twice and finished sixth once to score 100 points and the overall title. Â
