As the clear favorite in the Women’s class, Lachlan Turner delivered a flawless performance, going 1-1-1 to claim the 2025 AMA National title. The 2024 WMX Champion and current U.S. WMX points leader dominated the field across all three motos. Riding under the Altus Motorsports Blu Cru Yamaha Amateur Team, Turner overcame a small mistake in Moto 2 to maintain control of the championship and add another prestigious title to her growing résumé.

Two-time defending champion Kyleigh Stallings (2-2-3) fought hard to defend her crown. Known as the queen of holeshots, the Team Green Kawasaki rider put up an impressive fight, especially in her battle with Jordan Jarvis during Moto 1, but ultimately couldn’t match Turner’s pace.

After a disappointing crash in the Girls class that maybe cost her a title, Mayla Herrick (4-4-2) bounced back to take third overall in the Women’s class. The KTM rider struggled with poor starts in the first two motos but rebounded strongly in the third, charging into second place after passing Baltyk, Jarvis, and Stallings — a champion’s performance.

Jordan Jarvis (3-3-4) narrowly missed the podium in fourth place. The Yamaha rider showed strong speed but was hampered by uncharacteristic mistakes throughout the week. She’ll be looking for redemption this Friday at Ironman in the WMX Championship.

Mila Baltyk (5-6-5) impressed with consistent top finishes to secure fifth overall. The Yamaha rider showed strong pace, especially in Moto 2, where she charged back from a tough start. Lilly-Ann Pettus (6-5-12) claimed sixth, showing determination and grit in the final race despite early setbacks.

After her runner-up finish in the Girls class, Callie Sutton (8-8-9) delivered three solid rides in the Women’s division to finish seventh overall. Isla Phillips (9-11-7) showed excellent consistency to take eighth, ahead of Shelbie Brittain (10-12-10), who put together three solid motos.

Nanami Honda (21-9-6), who traveled from Japan to compete in the U.S., rounded out the top ten. After a crash in Moto 1, she rebounded with two impressive rides to cap off her week on a high note.
