Swifts teammate, Kevin Trantham placed second in the class and Can-Am rider Bryan Buckhannon finished third, continuing his impressive season-long podium streak.

Defending class champion, Angel Knox, was able to wrap up the 2015 championship with the class win today. The Honda rider crossed the finish line with more than a two minute lead over Ohio's Kara Merritt who placed second. Even with the time gap after the checkers flew, the win would not come that easy for Knox as Alicia McCormick put up a hard fight until facing setbacks that would have her finishing outside the top three. Katelyn Osburn rounded out the WXC podium.
"It's a lot of hard work and years going in to get three WXC titles," reported Knox. "It feels good to know that my hard work has paid off."
