Nielson Powless Update!

8.2.2023

In the Tour de France, RHS Alum Nielson Powless (Class of 2015) captured the "Polka Dot Jersey" in Stage 1 of the race. This jersey goes to the top mountain climber of each stage. Winners of this category are called KING OF THE MOUNTAIN.

Nielsen is the first American since 2017 to get the polka dot jersey and he got that jersey in Stages 1-4 and 6-13!

Although he didn't end up with it in the end, what a run!
