WIND IN THE P34 with my riding and just being able to withstand the entire moto." Jordan Jarvis was a consis - tent 3-3 for third overall. The Yamaha rider got off the line in good shape in the first moto but was hit by another rider in a first- turn incident. After rejoining the race in last, Jarvis put her head down and worked her way up through the field and into third. "I was down by quite a bit when I finally got going, so I could only get up to third," said Jarvis. "The second moto, I was a little more cautious in the first turn to make sure I didn't fall again." Jarvis put her head down and, after a fierce battle with Kawa - saki-mounted Sophia Phelps, closed the gap on second but just couldn't get within striking distance of Stallings. In moto two, Jarvis worked her way up to third again but couldn't close the gap on second-placed Stallings. "I think I used a lot of energy that first moto," said Jarvis. "It was pretty tough on me those last couple of laps, so I've got a lot to work on for next year." Phelps, who went 4-4 for fourth overall, put up two fierce battles on the day, with Jarvis in the first moto and Jamie Astudi - llo (KTM) in the second moto. "There were times, me and Jor- dan, where we were three-wide passing lappers; it was just so busy," said Phelps. "In the second moto, me and Jamie battled; she put up a tough fight. I was just hoping I could stick a wheel un - der her, so I just watched her lines and waited for a mistake. At the very end, I started trying to put a pass on her because I was feeling a sense of urgency. I was hoping that she would tire out. I don't know if she did, but I was able to get around her." Despite being sick during the first of the week, Astudillo, who won the Canadian Women's Pro title earlier in the year, managed a pair of fifth-place finishes for fifth overall. The second moto includ - ed her epic battle with Phelps. "All weekend was pretty good, and I rode well," said Astudillo. "I had some good lap times, and I was able to battle with Jordan in the beginning of the moto one, but it was just a matter of getting tired. I was sick all week and the week before at Pleasure Valley, and the combination of both kind of took the wind out of me. I gave it all I had, and then Sophia just got around me there at the end of moto two. I was getting fatigued, and then that was kind of the end of the story. "That's kind of what happened in both motos; they got around me with two laps to go, so maybe if I wouldn't have gotten tired, maybe a top three would have been in the books today." Utah's Destiny Burgess (KTM) went 6-8 for sixth overall, while Brooke Whipple (Kawasaki) from Nevada went 9-6 for seventh. KTM rider Kenzley Jackman with 8-7 scores; Callie Sutton, also on a KTM, with 7-9 results; and Kiana Kurtz (Husqvarna) with 11-10 scores rounded out the top 10. Shan Moore OVERALL (Top 10) 1.
