Steven Max - Nationally Ranked in Snocross: 

Steven Max competes in the SNOCROSS Championship series and is ranked among the BEST in the nation! Last weekend in Sioux Falls, SD at the Nationals, he had a great weekend racing snocross.  On Friday, he raced in the Sport lite class and he went 3 & 1 in his heats and in the final, he worked hard from 12th to 5th overall.  On Saturday, he placed 3rd in both his 14/15 and 16/17 classes and in Sport Lite, he went 2 & 4 in his heats and he was battling for 4th but unfortunately, a jump thru him into a berm and came back to finish 7th. Steven has moved up into 7th place in points in the Sport Lite class, he is 2nd in points in the 14/15 & 16/17 classes. 

He has practiced and worked hard to be top in his classes.  We are very proud of his successes.  You may watch the finals on http://www.snocross.com, on the right side of the menu, you can select 'on demand' and watch the final.
