Tom Rothrock got third in a tie with Austrian Kilian Albrecht – a guy who has adopted the U.S. as his second home. Next best U.S. man was Roger Brown in 9th, but we will make note of the 11th scored by Charles Christianson, ahead of many better known names including Jitloff, Nyman, Roberts and Zamansky. This will be an interesting series to watch unfold. Get results via the Quebec regional website.

Lauren Ross edged Brigitte Acton in Nor-Am racing a province over at Craigleith. Kaylin Richardson posted third and Jess Kelley fourth – Alright, and Chelsea Marshall was fifth. In fact, Jenni Lathrop, Sterling Grant, Claire Abbe and Kara Crow all made the top 10.
