Evelyn Reed, Nia Spillar and Rachel Miller planned their air routes for months in hopes of winning this year's Air Race Derby.

The girls completed five 65 nautical mile legs across northern Illinois and back to Terre Haute. The Air Race Classic, which is normally a 2,400 mile cross-country race, was cancelled twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reed said they were excited to have a chance to show off their skills.

"Last year was going to be the first time that I competed in the air race classic," she said. "So this year is my first year competing in it. It's a different because it's an air race air derby. But I'm really excited to be apart of it and have the experience. I'm looking forward to next year where I'm hopefully apart of the team as well, just because of the amazing connections and the relationships that are formed between other racers in a typical year."
