Sidney McGill (Canada) secured her first career elite women's title at the Pan-American Cyclocross Championships on Sunday in Missoula, Montana. 

The former U23 Canadian cyclocross champion accelerated down the finish straight at Big Sky Park to capture the victory in a three-rider sprint. Defending champion Isabella Holmgren (Canada), who had outsprinted McGill the day before in the C2 Thunder Cross contest, finished one second back for silver.
