XTERRA North American Championship

It was a big weekend at Oak Mountain State Park in Alabama this weekend for the XTERRA North American Championship. Reed Legg (USA) and Isla Hedley took Friday’s Short Track titles, while Maxim Chané (FRA) and Marta Menditto (ITA) won the long-course races on Sunday. On Saturday the USA Triathlon Youth and Junior Cross National Championship took place. Americans Lucas Wright and Abigail Wales took the Junior titles, Dylan Thompson, and Elletta Aardema-Gagnon also earned Youth A wins, while Joren Aardema-Gagnon and Canada’s Dahlia Fillion took the Youth B honors. As the North American Championship, it was Legg who would earn the men’s title after finishing second in Sunday’s race (the only American in the top-10), while Amanda Felder followed up her win at XTERRA Puerto Rico earlier this year after finishing sixth.
