NC State alum Abby Lampe on a roll after second cheese rolling victory

Lampe discovered the competition on Youtube after she graduated from NC State. Her fist event coincided with a planned trip to Europe.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The university's men's and women's basketball teams made the Final Four, the baseball team made the College World Series and Abby Lampe won the cheese rolling competition again.

"I'm widely known as the cheese girl now," Lampe laughed. "I love NC State. I love the NC State community, so it's been great to have them get recognized."
