Jessi Prinner (ABD) placed 2nd Wednesday at the girls 17-18 national championship road race in Bend, Ore.

Prinner and two others went up the road early. In the final kilometers 24-time national champion Coryn Rivera (Proman Hit Squad) attacked and got clear, but Prinner was able to win the two-up sprint for 2nd.

It’s Prinner’s fourth podium trip in five years, having placed 3rd in 2007 and 2005 and 2nd in 2006. She and Rivera are both Moscow-bound for the junior world championships in two weeks.

Junior and elite national championships continue with time trials today and criteriums over the weekend.

Update: Prinner on Friday won the girls 17-18 time trial national championship, blazing through the 24-km course in 40:43, a remarkable 55 seconds ahead of Rivera.
