style a little bit more, because it's a more clearly defined trail that you don't want to stray off. For sure, it was a fast round, but it had a good flow to it, a good 104 miles!" Pretscherer slipped slightly off the pace in the final miles, finish - ing almost three minutes behind Roberts but still good enough for the Pro 250 triumph and third overall aboard his Precision Concepts/Golden Tyre/Troy Lee Designs FX 250. "I did a gearing change, and I was glad I did because I didn't back off the whole day—that bike was on the limiter the whole day!" he said. "I'm pretty heavy for a 250, so I have put a 49 [tooth rear sprocket versus a 50] on before, but it doesn't pull properly. Going through the last pit, I was very close, but I was smoked! The last 15 miles, they did a lot of damage." Among Pretscherer's victims was Woolslayer and his AHM Suspension/Seat Concepts/Klim FX 450, equaling his Open Pro result from round two, though he was off the overall box by one. Johnny Campbell Racing (JCR) Honda's Preston Campbell put his CRF450RX into fifth overall, fourth Open, followed by team - mate/cousin/Pro 250 runner-up Nolan Cate on his CRF250RX. Local favorite David Kamo got off the line best and hit the end of the bomb third overall. Despite nearly drowning his Kamo Realty/PCI Race Radios 450 XC-F after the second loop alternate pit, he kept it running to place seventh overall and win Pro Vet 35+. Pro 250 riders Brody Honea and Ryder Thomaselli and Open Pro Laine Stephens rounded out the top 10. In Pro Women, Ava Silvestri and her 395 Motorsports/FMF/ Troy Lee Designs GasGas EX 250F dominated from the start, finishing 25th overall. "This was my first Hare & Hound win the last time I was here," she said, "so I kind of wanted to carry that momentum and the momentum from round two [which she also won] as well. "I funneled into the bomb behind Preston Campbell, so I was like, 'I guess I'm pretty far up here!' Then all the [Pro] 250 guys were passing me, and I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm pretty far up here right now!' I didn't know how far of a lead I had, but I tried to stay mistake-free because it's the first Hare & Hound where I've not made any mistakes!" That gives her sole posses - sion of first in Pro Women points over defending champ Rachel Stout, the FMF/RPM Racing KTM star taking advantage of a last-turn mistake by Ty Wool - slayer to nab second place. Pure Adrenaline Yamaha's Woolslayer picked her bike up and earned third, five seconds behind Stout. Mark Kariya OVERALL (Top 10) 1. Zane Roberts (Bet) 2:47:33 2. Dante Oliveira (KTM) 2:47:41 3.
