RESULTS, Interviews, Photos & Video: Pro GRT Killington Downhill 3

Dakotah Norton, Frida Ronning, Steve Walton and Mazie Hayden take big wins in Vermont under perfect racing conditions. #USDH

The weather and course conditions were near perfection for the 2017 Pro GRT downhill race in Killington, Vermont, today. Amateur and Pro riders from across the U.S. competed against each other and the clock and when the maple syrup settled, Dakotah Norton, Frida Ronning, Steve Walton and Mazie Hayden were the fastest in the Pro and Junior classes. Dakotah Norton, who's been gaining momentum all season used a calculated but risky gap in the middle of the run to seal his victory. He was the only rider to hit the massive huck. Kiran MacKinnon, fastest in seeding, rounded out 2nd while 3rd-5th place were separated my milliseconds in the 3:10 range with Mauricio Estrada just inching out Shane Leslie and Bruce Klein.

Frida Ronning was in a league of her own in Pro Women with a 32-second victory and Steve Walton continues a strong season just out front of Aidan Casner in Junior Men. Though small, the Junior Women's class displays some upcoming U.S. talent as Mazie Hayden takes the victory with a 3:47, a time that would have earned her 2nd place in Pro Women.

Style and the top of the box. Dakotah Norton is on a tear.

Thanks to Clay Harper for the video of Dak's nasty huck!
