Maui Qualifiers From Utah
The XTERRA USA Championship was the last chance for age group athletes to qualify for the XTERRA World Championship on Oct. 25 in Maui. Because so many of the racers competing at nationals had already qualified for Worlds during the Cup Series, many of the age groups saw slots roll way down, and in the case of the 45-49 division women - all the way to the 13th place finisher. That said, here's a look at the XTERRA age group national champions and everyone else who earned the right to stand on the sand in Maui:
