Adam McGill came around 2nd in the XC-1 class and passed for the lead shortly after. He led for the first half of the race before Chris Borich caught up and the two began an epic battle that would last through the end of the race. "We went back and forth so many times. That was the most fun I had racing in quite a while," commented McGill. Borich was able to inch McGill out for the win while McGill finished 2nd only two seconds behind.

In the XC-2 class Josh Kirkland grabbed the $100 Rekluse holeshot award and began to pull out front. He was challenged early on by Bryan Wolf. The two riders actually hooked up in the pits when Kirkland accidentally collided into him - thinking Wolf was not going to pit. "I didn't mean to hit him but I thought he was still charging forward," stated Kirkland. When the checkered flag flew Kirkland took the win with Wolf finishing 2nd. "It felt great to get another win and help move myself ahead in the points," remarked Kirkland.
