Results: Junior and Under-17 XCO national championships

Canadian cross country national championships are back in Ontario for 2019, and the home province started the day with a pair of wins in the under-17 events.

Racing at the same time as the under-17’s, it wasn’t long before B.C. took over, winning both the junior men’s and women’s events.

Nicole Bradbury (Team Ontario) and Owen Clark (Homestead Racing) claimed the first national championships of the day, winning on home turf at Hardwood Ski & Bike in Oro Mendonte, Ont.

Marin Lowe (Cycling BC) finished second behind Bradbury, with Team Alberta’s Ella Myers just eight seconds behind in third.

On a scorching hot Ontario summer day, the under-17 and junior fields were lucky to start early, avoiding some of the heat. On course at the same time as the under-17’s were the junior championship events.

Quebec’s Hugo Brisebois (Ride with Rendall / Biemme) finished second, 43 seconds behind Clark. Médéric Carrier (Equipe du Quebec / Dalbix Siboire), also from Quebec, finished third at 51 seconds back.

B.C. took over from Ontario, winning both men’s and women’s junior XCO national titles.

Emilly Johnston (Pendrel Racing) and Carter Woods (Rocky Mountain Factory Team), both from the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, are the 2019 junior women’s and men’s XCO national champions. For Woods, it is his second straight junior national title, having won the 2018 event in Canmore, Alta. After finishing second in Canmore last year, with special permission to race up an age group into the junior event, Johnston wins her first XCO national championship at Hardwood Ski & Bike.

Magdeliene Vallieres Mill (Equipe Quebecor Stingray) finished second behind Johnston, and Samuelle Baillargeon (CVM Sigma Assurance) third, adding two more podium finishes for Quebec at Hardwood Ski & Bike.

In the Junior men’s race, Vincent Thiboutot (Pivot Cycles-OTE) landed in second, one minute and one second behind Woods. Thiboutot was just eight seconds ahead of B.C.’s Hamish Graham (Comox Bike Co.), another fast Vancouver Island racer.
