PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Trevor Jacob passed Hagen Kearney on the final jump Saturday to claim the national snowboardcross title at Canyons Resort.

It was only the third career race for 19-year-old Jacob, who trains with the U.S. team but is not yet a member.

Alex Tuttle took third and Chelone Miller, younger brother of Olympic ski champion Bode Miller, was fourth.

Salt Lake City’s Faye Gulini led from start to finish in winning the U.S. women’s title.

Canada’s Michelle Brodeur was second and Simona Meiler of Switzerland third.

Crashes and passes knocked out top men’s qualifiers Nate Holland, Alex Deibold and Seth Westcott in Saturday’s early rounds.
