in my butt this season, and he
rides a bike so fast, so he made
me work for this one and kind of
kept me on my toes the whole
time. He didn't give me an inch,
so thanks to Haaker for pushing
me."
Abbott's third was his best-
ever finish in the series final
standings. "It's obviously been
a long year—quick series, but
it also feels long at the same
time," said Abbott. "I've definitely
had some ups and downs this
season. Some rides I was happy
with and some rides I wasn't too
happy with, so there are definite
-
ly some things that I learned this
year
that I need to build on and
be able to battle with Trystan."
In the Pro Women's division,
Enduro Engineering/GasGas/
FXR Moto's Shelby Turner com

pleted a sweep of the four-round

Everett,
leading every lap of
the final to claim her seventh
EnduroCross title. Defending se-
ries champ, Team KBS Sherco's
Rachel Gutish
finished second
overall, with KTM-rider Melissa
Harten in third.
"It's years and years of train-
ing to get where I'm at," said
Turner.
"I've been riding Enduro-
Cross since I was 17 years old,
and you know it's all about the
love of the sport. I'm so happy
to have my family here; my
parents flew in from Canada,
and so happy to have my Enduro
Engineering team—they're all
here. I heard them cheering me
on, so super happy, and just an
awesome series this year."
