This Perpetual trophy has been coveted by the community since its inception in 1962. It is awarded each year to the student in racing class that has demonstrated masterful skill, devotion, and attitude.

Congratulations to Sam Bither the 52nd Perpetual Trophy Winner!

Sam in flight….

: One of the DYC traditions is when the head instructor retires a new DYC shirt is created. Oliver Roth took it a step further. He designed them! Then he customized every shirt for instructors, alumni, family & friends. Each shirt indicates the last name of the person on the back with the year he or she won the Perpetual or the number 62, which is the first year of the Perpetual.
