Mount Snow has long been a host of world-class mountain bike racing, but this is the first time the national championships have taken place at the notoriously challenging venue.<\/p>\n<p>While the event was a first for Mount Snow, it was like old hat for Team Kenda-Seven pro Mary McConneloug. Mary earned her third cross-country national championship title on Friday and then topped it off on Sunday with a win in the short-track race, giving her the unique distinction of being the U.S. National Champion for both racing disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was the focus of my year; it&#8217;s what I wanted to do,&#8221; McConneloug said. &#8220;Getting the national championship title back was my season goal, and it feels great to be able to come here and race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McConneloug&#8217;s victory earns her an automatic spot on the US National team for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Fort William, Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mike07BroSmall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5052 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mike07BroSmall.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Broderick racing\" width=\"180\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Mary wasn&#8217;t the only Kenda-Seven racer to make the podium this weekend.

And as if that wasn&#8217;t enough racing for the technically masterful Broderick, Mike also went on to finish fifth in the Super-D competition and 10th in the short-track.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the dynamic duo of McConneloug and Broderick brought home two national championship titles and four podium spots.
