TREXLERTOWN, Pa. \u2013 On one of the hottest days of the summer came one of the longest races of the season. The heat was not a deterrent for Roger Ainslie of California and Stephen Hall of Australia, who teamed up to win the 9th Annual Mike Walter Madison on Friday night at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center.<\/p>\n

The night also featured the first Longest Lap of the season, a fan-favorite that features track stands on the home straight. Njisane Phillip of Trinidad and Tobago won the event with a great one-lap sprint.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Mike Walter Trophy, the Chairman\u2019s Cup was awarded to the winner of the U.S. Women\u2019s Open on Friday night. At night\u2019s end, it was Anita Stenberg of Norway who hoisted the trophy as she staved off Emma Cumming of New Zealand in the omnium competition by winning the final race.<\/p>\n

Tom Rotherham won the men\u2019s omnium with 17 total points as Rotherham secured a win in the miss-n-out, the first event of the evening. The Mike Walter 100 Lap Madison was not part of the men\u2019s omnium.<\/p>\n

Legends 45+ also competed on Friday night. T-Town Hall of Famer Pat Gellineau received the largest ovation of the night for that field as he earned a win in the 10-lap scratch with a photo finish. Gellineau finished second in the overall Legends 45+ omnium to Mike Miller, who won the other two Legends events on Friday night.<\/p>\n
