Compton facing hardest cyclo-cross national championship yet

Katie Compton has been the dominant force in American cyclo-cross for more than a decade, but faces her hardest challenge yet to obtain her record 12th straight USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championship title. After a summer battling health issues that left her mentally at rock bottom, she is confident she now has the fix for all of her problems and is back on track, hoping her form will be good enough to win on Sunday.
