The 2019 TKO women’s final was one of those rare races when everything goes perfectly. I got a fantastic start, stayed smooth and consistent lap after lap, and controlled the race from beginning to end. I was racing against the most talented field of women to ever line up at the Knock Out, and I couldn’t be happier with my results and performance! I’m so glad I could bring home a national championship for Beta after the series of injuries and setbacks I fought through earlier this season!” Nate Smith won the Saturday morning race and moved on to finish 15th in Sunday’s final.
