Mackenzie Tricker wrapped up the Women’s Elite title with an impressive win in
Indiana. The Mepmx/Fly/Grizzly Peak/Traveler’s Rest Speedway/KTM rider won all
five of the tests in the class and beat out Am Pro Yamaha’s Rachel Archer by 3:29
minutes, and also topping the B class overall, despite riding with a sore shoulder.
“I injured my shoulder two weeks ago at the GNCC and I ended up re-breaking my
scapula that I injured in ’17,” said Tricker. “I just took a lot of ibuprofen today and did
what I had to do. I crashed in test three, but they ended up dropping it. Other than
that, I rode good. I’m stoked.”
Tricker win seven of the eight races held so far this year en route to her champion-
ship.
“I come from a motocross background, so the last thing I ever thought I would
do would be win a national enduro championship,” said Tricker. “So it’s great. I love
enduro racing. Hopefully there’s more championships ahead and maybe in some
other off-road series as well.”
