An 11 year old girl won the National Title today at Loretta Lynn's 44th annual Championship.
This is no small feat. You have to qualify through a series of events to even get to LL.
First Girl to ever win an open class National Title in 44 years.

Raycin Kyler went 3 rounds placing 4-2-2 to take the overall against about 40 boys
65cc Cobra , age group 10-11

Also another Girl in the younger 7-9 age group 65cc class
Yumena Berning "almost" won the National Title in her class too , on a KTM.
Came down to the last lap in round 3 , but she came in 2nd place by half a second.
IF - she could have gotten 1st in the last race - she would have won the Overall Points / National Title.
She went 2-5-2 in 3 rounds and got Second Overall National against about 40 boys also.

Both girls were the first girls to ever make the Podium (1-2-3) at the Nationals in 44 years.
A girl has not taken 1st in a round - YET - but both of them did come very close in one of their respective races , and both have lead laps in their respective races.


LaLa Turner 17 years old - the Women's MX Champ - on a Yamaha 250F
Finished 7th in one of her rounds against about 40 young men.in 250cc class.

Average riders do not race at Loretta Lynn's Nationals , only the very best amateurs make the field.
Most class winners and strong performers get pro contracts / factory or furnished rides after the event.

LaLa is already a Factory Yamaha racer in WMX
Dominates the Women's pro series pretty hard.
She wants to eventually ride Pro Level with/against the top men.
Someday in the next 1-3 years she very possibly might do that.

Her older brother is Pro 250F with KTM
Made top 10 in supercross season overall , and is top 20 in current MX season.
I think she is at about same caliber as him , but she keeps building speed and skill rapidly.
