Heather Jackson won a second consecutive women’s title at Stetina’s Paydirt on Saturday, while Justin Peck secured the victory in the men’s overall.

Jackson set the marker with a solo lead of two minutes on the first of the three timed segments across the long course, 72 miles with 5,400 feet of elevation gain across the mixed terrain south of Carson City, Nevada. Kristen Legan closed the margin to 33 seconds after the second segment, but Jackson then stormed away on the third and final section to seal the best overall time. Leah van der Linden was third, while Flavia Oliveira Parks, the overall women’s winner in 2022, finished fourth ahead of Lauren Cantwell.
