Team Arctic is VERY happy and proud of P.J. Wanderscheid for winning his fourth Eagle River World Championships.

Click to read Arctic Cat's press release about it, and the USCC cross-country race in Grand Forks, ND.

Note: Sorry, but the Derby track hasn't yet provided results that indicate what brand sleds the riders are on, so there are no results listed for the other classes in the release.

P.J. Wanderscheid did it!

For the first time ever, one person has notched four Eagle River World's Championship titles!
