Muskego Park Criterium winner Jerry Long (Team Schwinn) has donated his race winnings to the Matt Wittig Scholarship Fund in honour of the fallen racer. The race, now known as the Matt Wittig Cup, awards the winning team with a silver cup, a memoriam to Matt Wittig, a 20 year-old student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and rider with the US amateur ISCorp team, who died after crashing during the Wisconsin Cup criterium race in Muskego County Park on May 6, 2006.
"It was an unexpectedly wonderful experience to win that particular race and to visit with Matt Wittig's mother afterward," said Long, of the race held on the eve of Mother's Day. "I decided to donate my race winnings to the Matt Wittig Scholarship Fund, and the team supported that decision."
