Garrett Beshore (Boulder Junior Cycling) and Lidia Cusack (CXD Trek Bikes) won the junior 17-18 titles in Louisville, Kentucky to open a full day of racing at the USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships on Saturday morning. 

A total of 63 junior men lined up first for five laps on a slippery course at Joe Creason Park on the third day of racing, while 31 junior women followed over four laps. No rain was in the forecast on a cloudy day with a few glimpses of sunshine, but moisture locked in the ground from freezing overnight temperatures created a thin, slippery surface once the junior men burst from the hole shot.
