Caroline Buchanan Takes 2nd Australian National 4X Title

Caroline Buchanan took her second Australian National 4X title in 2 years--and she's just 17! She held off the champion of the downhill race, Great Britain's Tracy Moseley for the win. Moseley bested Australia's Tracey Hannah for the downhill win by just .06 seconds. Hannah takes the Australian National Downhill title Ironically, Buchanan's time puts her in 3rd place before Julia Boer in the Elite Women's Downhill, but since she's 17, Buchanan raced the Under 19 category and took the National title there too.
