very close. On Sunday, I kind of
put myself on the backburner, go-
ing down twice. The boys picked
up 10 seconds on me, but I just
put my head down and got with it.
I think I gave my mechanic a few
grey hairs."
Morse was sixth overall and
second Pro 2 rider, and he gave
Riordan all he could handle dur
-
ing the weekend, coming up just
three-tenths of a second short
on Saturday.
"I got second in the cross test
and then I think I won three or
four in a row, so it was a good
battle between me and Riordan,"
said Morse. "Unfortunately, on
Saturday, I crashed three or four
times which put me behind, but I
was able to battle back and just
missed beating Riordan by 0.3.
Going into the last woods test, I
had him by about three seconds
and he got me by 3.3, so it was a
fun day."

Lyndon Snodgrass for seventh
overall was Husqvarna's Jason
Tino, who had an up-and-down
weekend.
Ninth overall and first in the
Pro-Am class went to FMF KTM
Factory Racing Team Landers'
Cooper Jones, while Coastal Gas
-
Gas Factory Racing's Cole Whit-
mer rounded out the overall top
10 and was second Pro-Am rider.
In the Pro Women's divi-
sion, FMF KTM Factory Racing
Team Landers' Brandy Richards
took the win both days and
the overall win over Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna's Kori Steede.
However, Steede made Richards'
final day tough, finishing just two
seconds behind the KTM rider.
"The weekend definitely
started off really good; I loved
the grass track," said Richards.
"It was a little slick and pretty
fast, while the enduro test was
super-hard-packed with no ruts
and pretty slick. I was a little
more patient on that test. We
got a pretty good rain on Satur
-
day night, and that made part of
the course pretty tricky. That last
test was icy and slick, but, over-
all, it was a good weekend."
Second in the Pro Women's
went to Steede. "It started
off pretty slow in that second
enduro test, I had a pretty good
get-off and hit my head," said
Steede. "It slowed me down a
bit, but my times slowly got bet
-
ter, but I'm not feeling so good.
After the rain, the enduro test
got pretty slick, but overall, the
track was pretty fun. On Sunday,
the track was pretty gnarly and I
think I rode as well as I ever have
at one of these sprints."
Third went to first-time sprint
racer Olivia Judy on a KTM.
