Day 2 of racing out at White Tanks was just as exciting as day one. It was a winner take all state championship race, with a newly designed winners jersey on the line. We, again, had 6 racers representing the Dynamix team. This time, the girls outnumbered the boys, though. For the girls we had Emma and Avery back for day 2 joined by Genevieve and Alana. Liam and Barrett were back for day 2 racing in separate categories this time around. The temperatures again soared well into the 90's making for a tough race.

Up first was the 11-12 year old boys and girls. Liam and Avery were off in this category racing strong. Liam had another great start, getting the early lead. He was passed on lap one and again held on for 2nd. However, since the winner of the race was a non-resident, the top prize of the day went to Liam. Avery had another solid performance, coming in 2nd overall in her category!
Barrett, Emma, Genevieve, and Alana were up next for the 9-10 category. Emma got off the line and into the single track ahead of the entire pack. She traded back and for with Genevieve for the lead for most of the first lap. She was able to pass and hold on for the win. Genevieve came in an impressive 2nd for her 2nd ever mountain bike race! Her little sister, Alana, at age 7 was the youngest racer of the day. This was her first shot at racing. She made it through lap one in just 31 minutes, which is pretty impressive considering her age and size. Barrett held strong for the entire race coming in a solid 2nd place, snagging a coveted podium spot.
