Austin Forkner came away with two titles, one in the Open Pro Sport class and the other in the 250 A class. The wins, however, didn’t come easily, as he had to fend off a number of tough competitors, such as Bradley Taft, Sean Cantrell and Cameron McAdoo.

Jett Reynolds was another big winner. The Team Green Kawasaki rider took the number-one plate in the 85 (9-11) and 85 (9-12) classes.

North Carolina native Jordan Jarvis returned to her winning ways in the Girls Sr. (12-16) class. In addition, Jarvis was able to capture her very first Women Amateur (12+) RCSX Championship.

In hopes of defending his 2015 RCSX Championships, Matthew LeBlanc lined up on the gate in both the 65 (10-11) and 65 (7-11) divisions where he ended up taking home the championships once again. In addition, LeBlanc also placed second in 85 (9-11).
