Trail Pros/U.S. Sprint Enduro (Cade Henderson, Travis Reynaud and Talon Soenksen) claimed seventh place with Eric Cleveland Memorial (Fred Hoess, Nick Sw- enson and Joel Tonsgard) 10th. Elizabeth Scott Community (John Beal, Jayson Densley and Brian Storrie) inched up slowly but surely to claim 26th while the Missouri Mudders (Reid Brown, Kobee Knight and A.J. Lehr) also moved up a bit from beginning to end, earning 29th in the final standings. NGPC/D37/NHHA (Preston Campbell, Tyler Vore and Tanner Whipple) were the only American team to lose a rider when Vore crashed out on day five.

After the first day, it was clear that the U.S. was the team to beat in WWT, but no one could and the team repeated as champs with its third victory (2007, 2019, 2021). Most of the field participated on Club teams and there were 163 of them vying to be tops in that category.
