Interview videos from Nationals featuring Katie Compton, Stephen Hyde, Ellen Noble, Emma White, Tobin Ortenblad, Katie Antonneau, Amanda Miller, Jamey Driscoll, Kerry Werner, Maxx Chance, Hannah Finchamp, Lane Maher, Lance Haidet, Gage Hecht, Ross Ellwood, Ashley Zoerner and Denzel Stephenson.

Running across the finish line on foot ahead of a sprinting Jamey Driscoll (Clement) is probably not how Stephen Hyde (Cannondale Cyclocrossworld) envisioned winning his first U.S. Cyclocross National Championship.

There were no rabbits feet or broken mirrors that could slow a motivated Katie Compton (KFC Racing p/b Trek/Panache) on her quest for her 13th National Cyclocross Title.

One of the most anticipated races on Sunday was the Women’s U23 race that featured Ellen Noble and Emma White. The two women did not disappoint, as they both shot off the front and got a large early gap back to their rivals.

Lance Haidet wins the 2017 U23 Men’s National Championship by surviving where others faltered on a snowy, slick course in Hartford.

In Sunday’s Men’s 17-18 race, Denzel Stephenson (Boulder Junior Cycling) had to overcome a mechanical and a tough battle against Lane Maher to take home the Stars-and-Stripes jersey.

Stephen Hyde, the 2017 Elite Men’s National Champion, discusses a last lap that included a flat tire, a crash, a broken derailleur and a long run to the finish.

Katie Compton 13x National Champion talks about her race strategy, preparation, shoes, the level of today’s competition and more.

Stephen Hyde led most of the race, which is good. A mechanical right at the finish line saw the competition close to within 2 seconds. Despite the broken derailleur, Stephen Hyde claims the 2017 National Championship.

Katie Compton (KFC Racing p/b Trek/Panache) rode a fast pace and controlled the race from the front to take her 13th Elite Women’s National Championship.

Ellen Noble discusses confidence before the U23 Women’s National Championship race, strategy during the race and the importance of staying focused.

In a cruel twist of fate, race favorite and leader on the last lap, Maxx Chance (EVOL DevoElite Racing) suffered a mechanical just feet from the finish. Lance Haidet (Clement Pro Cycling) won a very thrilling race.

The Bonkbreaker Slide is a very distinctive section of the Nationals course that features a very steep downhill that racers navigated in various ways – on their feet, on their knees, on their bottoms and sometimes on their bike.

Ellen Noble (Aspire Racing) takes the U23 Women’s National Title with a 30 second lead over Emma White (Cannondale Cyclocrossworld) at the finish line. Hannah Finchamp (UCI MTB: Clif Pro Team) had a great race and finished in third.

Denzel Stephenson had a crank arm fall off and he was still able to beat Lane Maher (by 20 seconds) for the 2017 Junior Men 17-18 National Title.

Interview videos from Day 4 featuring Mindy McCutcheon, Isaac Neff, Scotty Chapin, Katie Clouse, Petra Schmidtmann, Nick Carter, Torin Bickmore, Kaya Musgrave, Haydn Hludzinski, Lizzy Gunsalus, Lauren Zoerner, Ryan Campbell and Dylan Zakrajsek.

Wisconsinite Isaac Neff (Neff Cycle Service) earns his second Stars-and-Stripes jersey of the weekend winning the Men’s Singlespeed National Title.

Nick Carter is from Minnesota, so he is very familiar with riding and racing in the snow. Carter used his experience to best the competition for the National Title.

Katie Clouse has a successful track record at Cyclocross Nationals, winning her age group title each year since Verona, Wisconsin in 2013. This year was no different.

Melinda McCutcheon (UCI WPT: Visit Dallas DNA Pro Cycling) survives last lap drama to win the 2017 National Women Singlespeed Championship.

David Thompson (CT Cycling Advancement Program) knew even before the race started that the Riverside circuit was “his type of course”.

In the Juniors Women 11-12 race, Kaya Musgrave (Avout Racing) from Littleton, CO won a close race with her good friend (and fellow Coloradoan) Haydn Hludzinski under falling snow.

Lizzy Gunsalus (AP Junior Development) wins her second National Title in the Juniors Women 13-14 category on a cold, icy morning.
