Be sure to keep checking our complete coverage of the 2009 Cyclocross National Championships Center as we continue to update the page with more updates, tech pieces photos, and videos.
The junior women kicked off day two of the Nationals Championships in Bend, Oregon at 8 a.m. The 10-12 year olds followed the 13-14’s for 20 minutes of hot racing in really cold, single-digit temperature conditions. Sarah Huang (Planet Bike) would look to add a second ‘cross title in the 15-16 race, while a battle was brewing in the 17-18 race between Coryn Rivera (Proman Hit Squad) and Kaitlin Antonneau (Planet Bike) after they took turns beating one another at the Portland USGP last week. Check back soon for full photos, results and an expanded report.
Women’s 10-12
Mina Anderberg was the first of the Colorado contingent to kick off a strong day of results in the Junior’s category. Anderberg battled some of the coldest and slickest conditions of the day to prove that she’s a rider to watch. Today was Anderberg’s second consecutive title in the 10-12 age group.

The very first group of the day at 8 AM, when the temps were just starting to crawl above ZERO, were the 13-14 year old women. Tiziana DeHorney fought a tight battle with Emma White to win her first national CX title. DeHorney proved that it takes more than a little snow to hold a southwestern rattlesnake down! She represents a growing group of up-and-coming youth ‘cross riders coming out of the grassroots scene in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Women’s 15-16
Sarah Huang put in a strong effort with amazing support from her Planet Bike team for her second cyclocross title. Huang took an early lead and put over 30 seconds into her chasers. Alexis Ryan and Emily Curley, daughter of recently re-crowned national champ Paul Curley, followed in second and third. After the race, Huang spoke of her pursuit of all types of racing including track and road, echoing a path much like current junior standout Coryn Rivera.

Women’s 17-18
If there were any doubt that Rivera’s one of the dominant juniors of her generation, they’re gone today. Rivera won her 25th national championship (ed. note – it’s impossible to count them all at this point) today in commanding fashion. After a disappointing USGP in Portland, Rivera showed that, when crunch time comes, she’s the boss. Kaitlin Antonneu and Ryan Kendall put in strong efforts but couldn’t handle Rivera’s winning pace. She finished ahead of second place Antonneau by 47 seconds. These girls will likely jump in with the Elite women on Sunday to get their feet wet for their entrance into the big leagues.
