“I think the row that I had at 22 kind of hurt me a little bit for the overall because
we were kind of breaking trail a little bit later in the day,” said Craig. “But that’s
just part of it. I was competitive and pretty solid all day long which was good.
That’s what I needed to do. Happy to get a win and gain some points.”
Beta USA’s Cody Barnes was ninth overall and second in the Pro2 division.
“I struggled kind of in the beginning,” said Barnes. “There were a lot of slick
rocks and just I kind of struggled to get a flow. But towards the end I was able to
ride good and snag the test win. In a lot of tests, I ended up second to Craig and
he was riding really good. Just kind of struggled today, but hopefully I will rebound
for the next one.”
Brian Dussault rounded out the top 10 on a Beta, topping the AA class, while
Ben Nelko was 11th overall and third in the Pro2 class on a 760 Racing Husqvarna.

Mackenzie Tricker won the Women’s Elite class, ahead of FactoryONE Sherco’s
Brooke Cosner.
Tricker took the win by just over two minutes.
“Today went pretty good,” said Tricker. “I think I might have won all of the tests. I
just tried to keep it off the ground and just be consistent.”
Tricker did, indeed, win all of the tests, while Cosner rode a consistent race, take
seconds and thirds all day.
“Today was mistake city,” said Cosner. “I couldn’t stay off the ground today, but I
managed a second which was good. I had a good day.”
Shyann Phelps grabbed her first podium with a third-place finish, while FMF/
KTM’s Brandy Richards was fourth in class.
