a bit after having a big swap on
the first lap. Russell held on for a
seventh-overall finish, crossing the
finish just four seconds ahead of

out the top 10.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna/
Surge Off-Road Coaching Team's
Tayla Jones passed early leader
Kori Steede (Trail Jesters Racing
KTM) to take the win in the WXC
class.
"I was in third early on, but I
ended up going down, and then
catching back up again super-
fast," said Jones. "Then going
into the second lap, I caught up
to Kori Steede in first and then
ended up making the pass about
midway through and we battled it
out for over a lap. Then I ended up
pulling a gap."
Steede held on for second
place ahead of AmPro Yamaha's
Rachel Archer. FXR/KTM's
Shelby Turner was fourth and
Raines Racing Yamaha's Prestin
Raines fifth.
