The 16th running of the FMF Steele Creek GNCC
produced some of the best racing action of the
season as the top ten riders battled closely all
afternoon. It was Landon Wolfe who captured the
$250 AMSOIL XC1 Pro Holeshot Award as he led a
string of veteran racers into the woods on the
opening lap.

for a majority of the two-hour race, exchanging
positions along the way.

his move into the lead position on lap two, where
he set the pace for the second half of the race.
Borich settled in behind Shadron, but riders like
Adam McGill, Walker Fowler and Jarrod McClure
applied great pressure to the leaders. On the
final lap, CST/PirateMX.com/LSR/DeRisi/Tireblocks/SG-backed
Adam McGill turned up the intensity and made his
way past Borich and Shadron to take over the lead
position.

his way back to second just before the finish.
Despite leading much of the two-hour race, Shadron
dropped back a couple of positions near the end,
where he finished a career-best third overall
at round three.
