“It’s been a long week here at Huntington, but I have all the support and everything I need, I’m healthy, I’ve been training for this, I’m super fortunate to take the win. It gives me a ton of confidence (winning the event). This is one of the biggest events we have on the Challenger Series, everyone is here watching.
