Anchorage cyclist Sheryl Loan was named the Alaska Athlete of the Week after she placed third in the Bike for Women to continue her astonishing streak of never finishing outside the overall top three in the race.

Loan, who now races in the 60-64 age-group, clocked a time of 24:26, finishing third among the all-female field of 399 cyclists to make it 18 straight races finishing on the podium.

The 10-time Bike for Women champ just missed her own 60-64 age-group record of 23:51.8 set in 2019.

The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame Alaska Athlete of the Week is selected by a panel each Friday and announced publicly Monday morning on our Facebook page.
