Kevin Kight, the owner of the Tulsa Mountain Trials property, opened his venue to the Northeastern Oklahoma Trials Team (N.E.O.T.T.) to help host the event. Section design focused on technical acumen, working tight turns with some appropriately tricky, rocky terrain.
In the Youth A0 class, the 15 and Under Expert class, David Cunningham took the win and the overall championship trophy, with 85 points on Saturday and 84 points on Sunday. In the Women’s W1 class, it was Team STRA’s Abigail Buzzelli taking the win each day and the overall trophy, taking a narrow, three-point win on Sunday against Hailey Glueck.
The largest class of the weekend was the tightly-contested Women’s W3 class, with eight riders. Podium positions on Saturday were separated by only three points and Sunday there was a three-way tie. In the end, it was Becky Owens taking both wins and the overall.
