MOUNT MORRIS, Pa. – The Parts Unlimited Mason-Dixon GNCC delivered another action-packed weekend in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, as competitors tackled challenging terrain along the Pennsylvania–West Virginia border. Round 11 of the Progressive Grand National Cross Country (GNCC Racing) Series, an AMA National Championship, featured an exciting weekend of women's racing, including an eMTB doubleheader. With two chances for eMTB competitors to battle for victory, the weekend brought plenty of competition as female racers across multiple divisions pushed for a podium spot.

It was an all-out war in the WXC ATV class as Pierce Performance/Moose Racing/Lonestar’s Chloe Harper and Elioff Racing/BNR Motorsports/GBC Tire’s Jessica Elioff battled throughout the race. The gap between them stayed under ten seconds from start to finish, with both drivers showcasing their speed and determination as they fought for the top spot on the podium.

Ultimately, Harper would hold off Elioff to claim her seventh win of the 2026 season, while Elioff settled for second.

Behind Collins, Benny D’s On and Offroad/WPS/Fly Racing’s Amie Dunlap and JMR/Action Off-Road/GBC/Moose Racing’s Katelyn Osburn battled for position throughout the race.

The Girls 65 (7-11) Bike class delivered one of the day's closest battles, as Matilda Revoyr and Jhorjie Walker fought for the win to the checkered flag. Revoyr faced an early setback after going down in the third turn off the start, leaving her dead last and forced to work her way through the field. Despite the fall, Revoyr quickly charged forward, reaching second by the end of the opening lap, just 1.813 seconds behind Walker. The two continued to trade positions throughout the six-lap race, with Revoyr taking over the lead on lap three before Walker reclaimed the top spot on lap four.

In the Girls Micro Bike class, Codie Mae Lloyd set the pace from the opening lap, took an early lead, and held on through all four laps to win the class.

McPherson would hold on to finish second, while Rylee Huff put together a consistent race in third to round out the podium.

The two days of racing brought vastly different track conditions for the eMTB competitors. A heavy downpour just before Friday’s race left riders facing slick, muddy conditions, while Saturday’s race saw a much drier course as the track dried out, creating a different challenge for the competitors.

Friday's muddy conditions didn't slow down Ashley Hendershot, who took control of the Women’s eMTB class from the opening lap. Madison Harmon kept the pressure on early, trailing Hendershot by just 4.937 seconds after the first lap. However, Hendershot began to pull away on lap two, extending her advantage to over a minute before ultimately securing the victory by more than three minutes. Harmon held on to second, while Nicole Rupert worked her way from fourth to third by lap two and held on through the checkered flag to round out the podium.

Amber Boland was unstoppable in Friday’s Women (35+) eMTB class, setting a great pace despite the muddy conditions. Boland led from start to finish, completed all four laps, and secured a commanding class victory. Ashley Corbin maintained second place through her three laps, while Melanie Howard held steady in third to round out the podium after two laps.

With much drier track conditions for Saturday's eMTB race, Samantha Sollon made her presence known in the Women’s class, working her way from second on the opening lap to take over the lead on lap two. Friday’s winner, Ashley Hendershot, took an early lead, but Sollon quickly closed the gap and moved into the top spot, where she stayed through the checkered flag to claim Saturday’s victory. Hendershot held strong in second, while Madison Harmon worked her way from fourth to third by lap two. 

Harmon held on to her position for the rest of the race to round out the podium, earning her second eMTB podium finish of the doubleheader weekend. Harmon also found success in Sunday's Women’s Bike race, where she claimed the class victory, completing an impressive weekend with three podium finishes in three races.

Amber Boland completed a clean sweep of the Women (35+) eMTB class, backing up Friday’s victory with another impressive performance on Saturday. Boland once again led from start to finish, maintaining control throughout all four laps to secure her second win of the doubleheader weekend. Behind her, Melanie Howard improved on Friday’s third-place finish, moving up to second and holding the position throughout the race. Ashley Corbin, who finished second on Friday, rounded out Saturday’s podium in third, completing a successful weekend for all three competitors.

With another exciting weekend of racing in the books, the women of GNCC once again showcased their speed and determination across all divisions. As the season winds down, attention now turns to the Yamaha Racing Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Indiana, where competitors will return to battle in hopes of closing out their 2026 seasons on a high note.
