Andrew Strohmeyer soloed to victory to claim the elite men’s Pan-American Cyclocross Championships title, dropping defending champion Eric Brunner on the final three laps in Washington, DC, on Saturday.
Strohmeyer, 23 who rides for local team CXD Trek Bikes, is the reigning USA national cyclocross champion. He and Brunner (Competitive Edge) pulled away from the field in the first lap, and duked it out until Strohmeyer powered away with three laps to go. Brunner, a four-time Pan-American champion, claimed silver, crossing the line 52 seconds later.
Over a minute after the winner, Jules Van Kempen (Team Winston-Salem) claimed the bronze medal, to make it a US sweep of the medals. Kerry Werner (USA) was fourth, and Tyler Clark (Canada) took fifth.
In 2024, Strohmeyer finished third behind the winner, Brunner. This season, the pair traded blows in the Trek US Cyclocross Series, each taking four wins.
