Jeremy Powers (Aspire Racing) continued his domestic UCI C1 race dominance with a commanding victory at Kings CX, while in the Elite Women’s race, Katie Compton (Trek Factory Racing) appears to have regained the form that has made her an 11-time National Champion, easily dispatching her competitors and winning solo with a healthy gap.
Gage Hecht (Alpha Bicycle Co.-Vista Subaru) proved to be top dog in the 17-18 Junior Men’s race, as local favorite Spencer Petrov (Cyclocross Network Racing) ran into mechanical issues he couldn’t recover from.

The Elite Men’s race featured the Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com duo of Stephen Hyde and Curtis White establishing the early selection with Powers. Behind them, a chase formed with Logan Owen (Cal-Giant), Ryan Trebon (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) and Jamey Driscoll (Raleigh-Clement).
Powers quickly went on the offensive, shaking White from the lead group. Hyde was able to match Powers’ acceleration, and remained glued on his wheel as the duo established an insurmountable gap to the chase group.
Powers’ pace became too much for Hyde, who was distanced, but was able to keep the gap around 10 seconds, and keep the chasing group at bay. In the chase group, Trebon and Owen were able to distance Driscoll and White, and go clear to fight for third place.
Consistent as usual, Powers kept his pace up and his racing clean to maintain his ten-second gap over Hyde. Powers crossed the finish line with enough time to post up for victory.
Behind Powers, Trebon closed quickly on Hyde, but ran out of real estate, finishing a strong third place. Owen and Driscoll rolled in shortly after to round out the top five.
