Katie Compton (KFC Racing-Trek/Panache) picked up her second win of the weekend for the Elite Women during day two of the KMC CrossFest on Sunday.

Compton had a tough start to the day but remained calm.

“I missed my pedal at the start and didn’t get off to a great start," she said. "I was probably fifth or sixth going into the first turn. Then I had a mechanical. I had something stuck in my shifter, so I wasn’t shifting and was stuck in too big a gear. I lost some spots, I couldn’t accelerate quickly enough. So I went to the pit and grabbed a bike and I lost more spots. I spent the first two and a half laps chasing and getting through traffic.”

Despite the mishaps, Compton managed to rally and hold off second and third place riders, French National Champion Caroline Mani (Raleigh Clement) and Amy D. Foundation rider Rebecca Fahringer. Mani rode the technical sections well.

“I tried to be smart, keep everything together and not make a mistake,” Mani said. 

Fahringer, who also finished third during Saturday's C1 race, had a brilliant weekend of racing.

“I think it might be my first double podium," she said. "It was definitely my first C1 podium yesterday. I found myself at the front of the race, and it was the first time I had been at the front. I took a little spill and from there Katie was able to get away.”
