In the Women’s event during a cold drizzling rain at Harbin Park in Cincinnati, a chain mishap at the start sent Katie Compton (Trek Cyclocross Collective) to the back of the field and running for the pits.

Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team) took full advantage and stretched her lead to 25 seconds for the win over teammate Maghalie Rochette With mud splattered up her back, regional favorite Kaitlin Antonneau (Twenty15 Pro Cycling) rounded out the 3rd spot, only 7 seconds in front of the Luna Pro Team duo of Catherine Pendrel and Georgia Gould. Quite a day for the Luna women.

The cold front moved into the area as the men took to the start. With the temperature plummeting to 41 degrees, Danny Summerhill (K-Edge/Felt) found solid lines in the disintegrating muddy corners and took the win in front of Jamie Driscoll (Raleigh/Clement) and Justin Lindine (Redline Factory/NBX).
