Cullinan, Elliot win Deer Valley by LUKE SMITH Record staff writer The U.S. Mountain Challenge returned to Deer Valley Saturday and Sunday, July 29-30, its second stop in as many years here in Park City. The Mountain Challenge again featured some of the top names in professional mountain biking in an exciting, four-racer, first-one-to-the-bottom-wins Downhill Mania format. Additionally, the U.S. Mountain Challenge included head-to-head dual slalom racing a la pro skiing. Former world champion Dave Cullinan dominated the men's downhill competition, winning every heat he entered after turning in the fastest qualifying times prior to Sunday's racing. Cullinan picked up the hole shot out of the starting gate atop Bald Mountain and never trailed en route to his $5,200 winner's check. Runner-up Joe Lawwill was riding rid-ing a similar undefeated streak prior to the final race. In that showdown, Lawwill was second from wire-to-wire. Michael Ronning, who followed Cullinan in second from the round of 32 through to the finals, trailed the pack in the finals before passing pass-ing Chris O'Driscoll to claim third place. O'Driscoll raced well enough to make the final four, finishing fin-ishing second in every one of his qualifying heats. Afterwards, Cullinan told TV reporters that "normally, I cruise the top of the course. In the finals, I went all out from the time the guy said 'five seconds'." Unlike Cullinan, Cheri Elliot actually finished second in a qualifier qual-ifier before pulling out two straight firsts to win the women's event.
