The Kansas duo dominated the final day of the Nebraska SOBE No Fear CX Weekend from the opening lap in the 60-minute race. With the 1.5 course run in the reverse direction of Saturday's course for the state championship event, lap times appeared to be faster for all of the 16 riders that lined up. None of the times were as fast Stolte and Mills however, who broke away after 4 laps from a solid group that included Mark Studnicki (Localcycling.com), Darin Schlake (MonkeyWrench Cycles), Adam Lang (KCCX/Verge) and Tony Wilhelm (HRRC/Midwest TREK). While the HRRC tandem moved up the road and clear of the chase, Studnicki and Schlake were the only riders able to stay clear with any chance of seeing the front of the race. With the Men's 1/2 points competition on the line, Studnicki held on to outsprint Schlake at the line finishing third overall on the day. In the Women's race, Sydney Brown (Badger Cycles) managed a wheel change with no issue on her way to a relatively easy victory. Her second state championship in as many years. Other top finishers included: Matt Farnham (Nebraska Medical Center/Team Kaos) in Men's 4, Kelly Irwin (Northern Rockies Orthopaedic) in Men's 3, Tom Price (TREK of KC) in the Masters race, Jenny Hruska in Women's Cat. 4 and Noah Burke in the Junior Men.
