Benny de Vall and Cami Bragg kept the Sea to Sky's podium streak alive by riding to third place in the men's U17 and women's U15 Pump Track Challenges, respectively.
de Vall was in tough against a field full of young American talent, making it to the semifinal before he fell to eventual silver medallist Cohen Bundy. In the end, he managed to disrupt what would have been a United States sweep by outperforming Finn McDermott in the small final as Alex Mallen took victory.
Bragg's bid for gold ended courtesy of Piper Graaten from Lantzville, but she rebounded by getting the better of Kiwi Addison Rutherfurd to secure bronze. Graaten, in turn, was bested by champion Zoe Witwicki of Calgary.
It's a second straight piece of Crankworx hardware for Bragg, earlier this week.
