From top to bottom, this was the closest and most bitterly fought A-race of the cyclocross season. Places 1, 3, 6, and 8 were not decided until the final few hundred meters. Of note were Andel/Knight-Williamson and Morgan/Allen duels; these pairs shadowed each other for most of the race. Knight-Williamson shed Andel for good on the last half lap and put in nearly the fastest lap of the day in the process. Morgan won the sprint for third. Larson snuck past Heinz to take the 35+ silver.
Wykoff took command on the 2nd lap and never looked back. A tight pack of chasers formed and Kerr eventually emerged from that group to move alone into 2nd. He was closing the gap to 1st in the final laps. Third was nip-and-tuck all the way to the tape, with Newell getting it over Kern by a bike length. Cobb and Schoeny both flatted.
The C-race was combined with the junior race. Maes was 8th overall, Shere 10th, Ritz 11th, Donnelly 13th, and Lujan 18th. Donnelly fell from contention after flatting.
In the junior race McCallister took the lead immediately and extended it every lap. For 2nd week in a row, Neal is outsprinted in the final 30 meters.
