Oh boy!
In the end, only the top three in each division cashed in.
Almost as quickly as the floodgates had opened, all the bibs were snatched up.
Tess Hobbs, Event Coordinator at Killington remarked: “It was craziness.
Not present in the crowd was Rails to Riches 1st place incumbent LJ Strenio.
Waiting in lines above each feature, competitors watched switch up after pretzel get thrown into the mix.
The top ladies included Amilie Fortin, Emma Hermanek, Jackie Kling, Julia Krass and Kim Lamarre.
Finalists also had a chance to collect themselves and wait as the sun dipped behind the horizon.
At 4:30, the finals began.
For the men, Jericho, Vermont native Will Hibbs?
