NSW rider Tai Lee Muxlow once again netted herself a national championship at Thredbo today, incidentally recording a faster time than 'team manager' and veteran racer Rob Eva.

Today's win completes a hat-trick of downhill titles for Muxlow, and with last weekend's win at Mt Beauty makes her the undisputed national champ.

2001 world silver medallist Fionn Griffiths, one of a small posse of Brits escaping the winter was second, and last week's silver medallist Talitha Fitzgerald was third.
