Sunday's round four of the USGP of Cyclocross was everything it was hyped up to be. The sun came out in full force and dried up yesterday's soggy track into a thrilling cyclocross speedway. Elite women left the line at 1:45 local time, and at 1:46 Katerina Nash left the rest of the field on her way to another dominating victory in Kentucky. Three groups followed in her wake. Nash's teammates Georgia Gould and Alison Dunlap joined up in second and third. Sue Butler and Alison Sydor chased together in fourth and fifth, while Vermont's Amy Dombroski led a large group of sixth through eleventh. While the rest of the top ten seemed to stand still, Dombroski leapfrogged her way from group to group, eventually joining Dunlap and Gould in the fight for the podium. With a lap to go, Dombroski overcame the two on one of Luna and capped off her best ever weekend of cyclocross with a second place finish ahead os Alison Dunlap in third, and Gould in fourth. Syder finished fifth and Butler sixth. 1 Katerina Nash 2 Amy Dombroski 3 Alison Dunlap 4 Georgia Gould 5 Alison SYDOR 6 Susan Butler 7 Kari Studley 8 Kristin Wentworth 9 Meredith Miller 10 Kaitlin Antonneau 11 Devon Haskell 12 Kimberly Flynn 13 Wendy Williams 14 Elizabeth Frye 15 Nicole Borem 16 Lisa Strong 17 Marne Smiley I 18 Ashley James 19 Robin Williams 20 Julie Wilson
