A strong group including Jonas Zimmerman (Rocktown), Cameron Ritcher (Rocktown), and Taylor Clarke (Cannondale) battled it out for second place in the muddy conditions.

The minimum number of riders for a team to be eligible to score is 3 riders. The scoring system is similiar to a high school cross country meet. J.V. and Elementary scoring is the same as varsity. Teams are welcome to race with fewer riders, but they will not be eligible for team scoring. Individual riders will still be eligible for individual points series.
