Top Amateur was Cooper
Jones, who earned 14th overall
and a win in the 250 A class.
The WXC battle at round 11
was nothing short of electrify-
ing, as Rocky Mountain Red Bear
Kawasaki Team Green's Rachael
Archer grabbed the $100 Land-
ers KTM WXC Holeshot Award
to start the day. As the race con-
tinued, FMF KTM Factory Racing
Landers' Brandy Richards made
the pass around Archer. Rich-
ards held onto the lead position,
earning her first win in her sec-
ond race back after a leg injury.
Archer took second in class.
"I didn't have the greatest
start, so I was about fourth or
fifth while the other girls were
ready to go from the beginning,"
Richards said. "I started off
slow, then made my way to third,
and then had what was a gnarly
get-off. After I got up from that, I
had to regroup. Halfway through
the second lap, I started to get
a good flow going and began to
see that the times were com
-
ing down to the front-runners,
so I did my best in the dust and
slowly gained on them. I made
a pass and then knew it was
hard to pass in the dust, so I just
stayed up and managed to win.
AmPro Yamaha's Danielle
McDonald and Rockstar Energy
Factory Husqvarna Racing's
Korie Steede went head-to-head,
trading positions multiple times
throughout the race. McDonald
was able to make a last-lap pass
on Steede to take the third-place
position in WXC, while Steede
crossed the line fourth. Round
-
ing out the top five in WXC was
Enduro Engineering-backed
racer Shelby Turner.
In the overall GNCC standings,
Davis leads with 247 points,
followed by Kelley with 227
and third-place Angus Riordan,
who struggled in the dust and
finished 15th, with 166 points,
just five points ahead of Cody
Barnes, who was 12th on the
day.
