Riding five laps for a total of 30 kilometers, the junior women 13-14 proved to be a competitive bunch. The pace picked up at the end of the fifth lap, and as eight riders made it down the home stretch together, an all-out battle for the number one spot ensued. Zoe Frazier (Suwanne, Ga./Frazier Cycling) pedaled the strongest over that final stretch to claim the top prize while Sarah Huang (Kenosha, Wis./NOVA IS Corp) and Katrina Howard (Fresno, Calif./Vapor Racing) were right there with her to earn the silver and bronze medals. Hannah Mossman (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Sara Youmans (Ketchum, Idaho/Byrds) also finished in the lead group, in fourth and fifth.

The final day of national championship racing started out with a very aggressive criterium put on by the women in the junior 17-18 group. A group of four went off the front pretty early on in their 20-kilometer contest, setting a pace that caused the rest of the field to spread out over the course. Jacqueline Kurth bested the rest of the lead group at the finish line while Kaitlin Antonneau (Racine, Wis./Nova iscorp) picked up the silver medal and Maura Kinsella (St. Louis, Mo./Measa Cycles) rode in for the bronze. Cinthia Lehner (Greer, S.C./Hincapie Development Team) and Shelby Reynolds (Cypress, Texas/Sugar Cycles-Specialized Women) rounded out the podium in fourth and fifth.
