The Cheese Rolling Queen has done it again. NC State graduate Abby Lampe won the Cheese Roll race at Cooper’s Hill for the second time, becoming the first-ever American woman to win the race twice in the event’s history.
The Class of 2022 Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) graduate took a commanding lead from the start of her descent of “Cooper’s Hill,” finishing in the final seconds before the other women fell all the way.
“I just remember rolling up and getting hit in the face again,” Lampe said with a smile. “I was just like, ‘This is only going to last a few seconds. I’m going to get to the bottom at some point and it’ll be over.’ … Just ride. There’s a little pain, but it’s going to be temporary.”

Lampe became the first American to win the event in 2022. She will become Cheese Queen again in 2024.

Lampe was thought to be the first American to win the event in 2022. She repeats as Cheese Queen in 2024 and only the third overall champion since 2019, with the event having been canceled in 2020 and 2021.
Congratulations to Abby Lampe for winning the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Roll Race for the second time!

During the event, competitors race down the steep hill – 200 meters from top to bottom – after a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese rolls down the hill to signify the start. Having struck a NIL deal with BreakingT for his previous win at Cooper’s Hill, perhaps it’s time to upgrade him for his multiple world championships in the event – and maybe this one will be in Red and white.
It may be too early to call it a dynasty, but Lampe could earn a statue on campus if she continues to advance.
