Behind her there was a pack of 4 led by Amanda Boyd of John Bapst & Cecilia Morin of Waterville. The Camden Hills duo of Emma Trapani & Grace Iltis were positioned just behind.
After coming out of the woods loop, Tardy continued to extend her lead as it increased to 25 seconds.
Behind her the pack of 4 were still together now being led by Trapani & Iltis.
