The duo faced a group of lapped riders who were stuck on a hill on the third lap, and as they approached more and more quads were blocking the race track. Pickens and Osburn found themselves involved with a new track obstacle. “Fighting my way through unexperienced lapped riders was a battle all of its own,” explained Osburn.

Osburn was saved by a spectator, who pointed her an alternate route. Once she was on a clear trail, Osburn never looked back and took her second win of the season. Meanwhile, Angel Knox was busing working her way through the pack to secure second place. Kamren Bobb rounded out the class podium in third.

“The track was super fun and my quad was working awesome,” said Osburn. “I'm so ready for another race in New York after the summer break. Unadilla is my home track and I can't wait!”

Without drops factored in, Knox continues to lead the way in the championship chase, while Pickens sits five points out from the lead. Osburn is ranked third, just eleven points behind.

On Sunday morning, Jones found herself leading the way into the Ohio woods, but a small mistake allowed for Fly Racing/Maxxis/Seat Concepts/KTM’s Becca Sheets moved into first place. As they emerged on the motocross track, Sheets had a sizable lead. Lapped riders came into play on their second lap and Jones was able to move through the group faster than Sheets where she regained the lead position.

Sheets was right on the back tire of Jones as they approached another bottleneck, which was harder to navigate than the first. “It seemed to take forever to get through and by the time I did, I had no idea if I was still leading or where any of the other girls were until I got my pit board,” explained Jones.

Jones ended up working her way through the lapped riders, eight minutes ahead of Sheets. From there, Jones rode her own race while Sheets rode as hard as she could on the last two laps. However, it wasn’t enough to regain the top position. Jones snagged her eighth victory of the season with Sheets earning second.

Trail Jesters’ Mackenzie Tricker was in third after battling with her handguard that kept causing her front brake to lock up. After stopping to get it fixed on the second lap she continued facing more issues. “I had a lot of bad luck. But all in all, I’m very disappointed on the result, but we have eight weeks to figure it out – third just isn't cutting it,” reported Tricker.

Unfortunately, Shelby Rolen also suffered from mechanical issues, where she was only able to complete one lap.

Veronica Whitesell extended her points lead in the Women’s UTV class, with her third win of the season. Vickie Fowler followed with second in class.
