Race 5 - May 7: Downhill

Pre-race favorites Warren and Petterson claimed the men's and women's respective downhill titles at Sunday's downhill competition.

Warren ran the course first due to a disaster-ridden qualifying run that qualified the defending national champion last among the field of 48 riders. Warren, however, avenged that performance by completing the downhill course in 2 minutes, 14.6 seconds, just .4 seconds ahead of second-place finisher, Canadian Jeff Beatty.

"On the seeding run I flatted on the track about a third of the way down on the steeper section, fell, and I struggled quite a bit since I couldn't really pedal really great with a front flat," Warren explained. "I came back with a little bit of drive, wanted to do good, and ended up doing good. It was close, because Geritt's qualifying time was a second more than what I did and I was kind of hoping it would hold up, and it did."

Amiel Cavalier (AUS), Jared Rando (AUS) and Justin Havukainen (Castro Valley, Calif.) rounded out the men's podium respectively.

On the women's side, top qualifier Petterson easily took the women's title in 2 minutes and 37.9 seconds, just shy of ten seconds ahead of April Lawyer (Bend, Ore., Maxxis) who finished second.

Wendy Reynolds (Moab, Utah), Kote Driscoll (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) and Jackie Harmony (Tucson, Ariz.) grabbed the final three podium spots.
