Magna1 Husqvarna ’ s Tayla Jones won nine of the twelve tests to win the Women ’ s Pro class , finishing 45 seconds ahead of runner-up Rachel Archer . Archer won the remaining three tests on her AmPro Yamaha , while Preston Raines was third overall on a Raines Racing Yamaha .
“ I had a pretty awesome weekend , actually ,” said Jones . “ These tracks were insanely awesome , so I absolutely loved it . I had a good weekend . I think I lost maybe two tests , which for me that ’ s not bad . I ’ m just pumped to be riding good again and feeling nice on the bike . Hopefully we can carry that momentum into the rest of the races .”
Among the Letter of Intent ( LOI ) riders , Cody Barnes was tops , ahead of Jesse Ansley and Tyler Vore .
“ To go to Six Days , to represent America and be on the Junior team , it would be unreal to me ,” said Barnes . “ To be honored enough to go over there and represent America at the highest level , it would be pretty surreal I think . If I get the opportunity to go , it would be a really big deal to me because I would be there representing America and not myself .”
Ben Nelko and Nicholas Swenson were fourth and fifth among LOI riders .
The Society Hills event was the first of three AMA east ISDE qualifier rounds , which include rounds in South Carolina , in Michigan , Battle Creek , and Alabama . Each event is a two-day event , so a rider ’ s best four days count .

Lucas Tyler ( KTM ) was third in the Super Mini Sr . ( 14-15 ) 80-112cc Two-stroke / 75-150cc Four-stroke class .
Andrew Segars Jr . came out on top of the Super Mini Jr ( 12-13 ) 80- 112cc two-stroke / 75-150cc fourstroke class . Segars finished the two-day event with just under five minutes to spare over runner-up Jacob McPherson ( KTM ). Lennox Reilly was third on a Husqvarna .
The 85 SR ( 12-15 ) 66-85cc Twostroke / 75-125cc Four-stroke class was one of the biggest classes of the weekend and it was won by KTM rider Jonathan Snyder . Aiden Ruth
