The North American Cyclocross Trophy series kicked off it's final weekend of the year today in Southampton, NY. Elite men and women from across North America met on what everyone is calling the most fun course of the year. The Elite Women's race saw a very large group of 10 stay together through the first lap and a half of the race. The peloton was finally split thanks to the attack of Amy Dombroski and the chase of Kelli Emmett. The two would take turns coming together and splitting apart until Dombroski was finally able to make her acceleration stick with 2 laps to go. Georgia Gould rode just off the back of leaders all day and finished 3rd. 4th-7th was a hard fought battle between LVG, Natasha Elliott, Mo Bruno, and Mary M. No one could get away and they would come to the line all together for a four up sprint. LVG led the way ahead of Mary, Natasha, and Mo. Women: 1. Amy Dombroski 2. Kelli Emmett 3. Georgia Gould 4.
