hour race. That's ultimately kind
of what got me. I just got tired.
Kind of tossed the anchor out
there and was just in survival
mode those last few laps."
RPM Racing KTM's Angus
Riordan was second in the XC2
250 Pro division and ninth overall,
his best finish to date. Meanwhile,

Trail Jesters Racing KTM Korie
Steede was fourth during the early
laps of the WXC race but worked
her way to the front to take the
lead as well as top Amateur hon-
ors for the morning classes.
"It was pretty tough out there
today mentally, just getting com-
fortable on the bike," she said.
"The track was so gnarly. I was
sitting in fourth place, and I could
kind of see third and second.
They were making so many mis-
takes. So, I kind of sat back and
let it happen and it happened."
With her win, Steede took over
the class points lead and now
holds a seven-point lead over
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna/
Surge Off-Road Coaching Team's
Tayla Jones in the championship.
KTM's Brandy Richards was
second, with AmPro Yamaha's
Rachael Archer rounding out the
podium.

Turner were fourth and fifth,
respectively.

ing/XC Gear's Zack Hayes.
