the remainder of the event with
Milner taking the cross test win
ahead of Strang, and DuVall tak-
ing the final win of the day, and
his first test win of the event, in
the enduro test to secure third-
place for the day.
In the Women's Pro class
Mackenzie Tricker swept the
first four tests of the day before
Red Bull's Tarah Gieger was
able to claim the final cross test
win. Tricker rebounded in the
final enduro test to get her fifth
test win of the day and head into
the second day of racing with a
16-second cushion over Gieger.
Ashley Copeland was third fol-
lowed by Brooke Cosner and
Sarah Baldwin.
Milner started the second
day of racing looking to pad his
11-second lead and put himself
in a position to claim his second
consecutive overall win of the
season, and he did just that by
taking the cross test win by five
seconds over Strang. Bobbitt
was another second back in
third with DuVall just a few tenths
behind him in fourth.
DuVall picked up where he
left off in the enduro test on
Wednesday by taking the win
ahead of Milner, Strang, and
Bobbitt. The FAR KR4 Perfor-
mance rider went on to sweep
the enduro tests for day two with
Strang finishing second in the
final two enduro tests, keeping
DuVall honest each time.
Milner went on to win the
remaining two attempts on the
grass track, making a clean
sweep of cross test wins for the
day. Strang finished second
in all of the cross tests on the
day and while he didn't win any
tests on day two, he ultimately
finished second
overall for the
day behind Mil-
ner and ahead
of DuVall with his
three test wins.
At the end of
the two days of
racing, Milner's
lead stretched to nearly 15-sec-
onds ahead of Strang with
DuVall another 17 seconds back.
Bobbitt secured fourth place for
the event with SRT Off-Road's
Cory Buttrick rounding out the
top five.

the Women's Pro class to take
the overall win. Ride MPS/Bonzi

finished the event in second
place. Copeland would experi-
ence a mechanical and DNF
on day two. Baldwin and Mandi
